Hi,
Does your wife have a fever or any other symptoms? What was the reason for this blood test? The interpretation of the blood test depends on the clinical symptoms and signs.

Neutrophilic leukocytosis could be just due to an infection, and then it resolves as the infection is cured. Some times this might be due to problems in the bone marrow.

If your doctor has suggested a bone marrow examination then you might want to go ahead with it. This will help in finding out the cause for the anomaly in her blood.
