Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these low cell counts that your wife has. It would be interesting to know how low the counts are before making any suggestions on what the possible causes are. These cells have just one thing in common, being produced from the same factory. If they all get low, then the factory maybe affected by one condition or another. There are several possible cause like drugs, illness, bone arrow failures, etc. Provide a detailed result sheet and her medical history alongside drugs for a more detailed and personalized information.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
