Doctor: HI Thanks for posting your query .     WBCs are produced in the bone marrow . Low WBCs could be due to some problem in the bone marrow or problems outside bone marrow which suppress bone marrow to produce WBC.    So it is essential to know what is the problem exactly . I would advise you to upload the reports of test done on your friend so that I can advise better.    If a Bone marrow biopsy is not done then better get it done .    The treatment depends on the cause of problem . Any clarification feel free to ask . Happy to answer. Regards.
