Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, The current neutrophil levels are within normal limits. A neutrophil count of 5000 is normal. Bone marrow biopsy is not indicated. Myelodysplastic disorder (MDS) can be picked up on the peripheral blood film. If MDS is present in the body, it will be evident on the peripheral blood film. If MDS is suggested, a bone marrow biopsy can be planned. Till then don't worry as the WBC count, hemoglobin and platelet count are all within normal limits. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
