Yes, antibiotics can affect blood counts, although this is not a common side effect. Certain antibiotics may lead to changes in white blood cell counts, either causing leukopenia (low white blood cell count) or, less frequently, leukocytosis (high white blood cell count). Additionally, some antibiotics can impact platelet counts, potentially leading to thrombocytopenia (low platelet count). It's important to monitor blood counts during prolonged antibiotic therapy, particularly in patients with existing blood disorders.
