Between 2 and 3 months after my wife's MUD transplant her WBC dropped from 7.5 to 3.4, her platelets from 44 to 19, and her HGB dropped as well. We were really worried, as you can imagine, and she had another biopsy to looks for clues. But over the next few weeks her counts came back up on their own. The doctor wasn't able to explain the drops in her blood counts nor the rebound, but we were glad to make it back to the road to recovery. I hope that your experience is the same post-transplant temporary dip, to be followed by recovered counts. Perhaps his doctor will want to adjust his immunosuppressants, but know that you aren't alone in having this seeming setback months after a transplant.
