Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
No thrombocytopenia can not leads to leukemia. There are many causes of thromocytopenia. Viral infection, malaria, dengue, immunothromocyopenia and many others. Leukemia also leads to thrombocytopenia. But your WBC count is normal so leukemia is out of question. No need to worry about leukemia. Just be relaxed.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
