Yes, methotrexate can cause low blood count, a condition known as myelosuppression. This occurs because methotrexate affects the bone marrow's ability to produce blood cells, leading to reduced levels of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Patients on methotrexate should be monitored regularly for blood counts to manage potential side effects effectively.

3 mo old baby has a low blood count mother is negative blood and father positive can this be the cause of the low blood count?

This can be a cause if the baby had a low blood count from birth or very shortly after, especially if this is not the first pregnancy. Hemolytic disease of the newborn can be caused by the mother's antibodies attacking the baby's red blood cells if the baby if Rh positive and the mother is Rh negative. The antibodies get into the baby before birth, however, so if the baby developed a low blood count at 3 months it would not be because of the negative/positive blood type.
