Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
He has leucopenia and the causes of it may be.
*bone marrow disorders, aplastic anemia, myelodisplasia, leukemia.
*other cancer
*HIV AIDS, tuberculosis
*autoimmune dissorder
*deficiency of vit B12, folate, zinc
Since doctors suspect leukemia he should take a bone marrow sample that is biopsy of bone marrow.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
