Too few blood cells can lead to what condition?

That would depend upon which blood cells and how much would "too few" be. With a gross reduction in red blood cells (RBCs) that are responsible for carrying oxygen via iron on the heme molecule, one can be diagnosed as having anemia. With a gross reduction in white blood cells (WBCs), that help fight infection, one can be diagnosed as having a leukemia. There are a myriad contributing factors in both of these diagnoses, and having low levels does not automatically point to a startling condition, but may be part of painting a bigger picture of compromise.
