Hi,
Though borderline low white cell counts can be normal, However hematologist review may be sought if the findings persist. Also, endocrine causes of her other symptoms should be ruled out with thyroid profile, as well as micro-nutrients like B12 folic acid levels to rule out malabsorption.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
