What Causes Fatigue And Nausea While Suffering From Low WBC Count?

My brother was hospitalized last week with an enlarged spleen and a low white blood count. My brother has been tired, and has had nausea for a couple of months. They have done every test and scan and now has sent blood off to a lab in New York. The lab in New York is a blood disease lab. Wouldn t they be able to see cancer with the tests that have done? Is an infection is possible? What kind of infection? Thank you, YYYY@YYYY
