Any condition that affects bone marrow health or the immune system can affect white blood count. Specifically, low count can be a symptom of anemia, lupus, HIV/AIDS, severe Allergies, thyroid disease, vitamin deficiency, RA, parasites.... the list goes on.

A low WBC count certainly doesn't just point to leukemia
