My daughters did although hers was acute ITP rather than chronic. Once the Nplate injections started to work and her platelets increased then so did her white cells.

Low white blood count is normal with Lupus. Your doctor will look at other numbers related to white blood cells and he will tell you not to worry. Mine go down as low as 2...and then they go up again. It's a very common issue with autoimmune diseases.

It is not unknown for your neutrophil to synchronise with your platelets. That's one of the reasons why many ITP sufferers experience chronic fatigue and are more exposed to common colds.
