What Causes Low WBC Levels?

My daughter had a WBC differential and her neuts# auto was 1.9 and her neuts % auto 32 and her monocytes were high. She was recently diagnosed with sjogrens and is on methotrexate . She has a rising developing under her arm. Could this be the cause of her recent labs being so low?

Low wbc count may be due to many reasons. But in your case methotrexate is used. It is chemotherapeutic agent may reduce your wbc count. So consult your doctor for that.
