Hi,
Leucopenia is a condition, where white cells in the blood are decreased. It may be transient, which resolves itself, as the cause is treated. Usually it may be due to presence of infections, which consume white cells to fight against disease. Here in this case, urine infection, may be a cause.
However, if the fever does not subside after treatment with analgesics like acetaminophen or ibuprofen and treatment with antibiotics in a few days, a detailed investigation for the cause and treatment accordingly is indicated.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
