Sorry to but in to the question you asked Steff but it may help.  I do not think the Entecavir is to blame as when I was on Viread my WBC/neutrophil count was one month the highest I've ever seen (WBC 5.1 so not anything to brag about but high for me) and a month later when tested was down again out of range for WBC but lower within range for neutrophils.  

I was taking fresh garlic when I had my good test but stopped by the time I had my lower test.  I'm now back on 3-4 fresh crushed garlic each day.  Get labs again next month so who knows!  :)

Ok great b/c i read some where on the form some of the patients they had some neutrophils reduction due to tfn & i have never tried eating fresh garlic but i usually throw some garlic when I am cooking food but 'll give a try eating fresh garlic. Thank you so much again.

Are you sure you are not B12 deficient ? It may cause neutropenia but from the other side your RBC is fine and it shouldn't when strong B12 deficiency.
Are you vegan or vegetarian ?

sorry, I red it wrong. RBC is 2.8K/UL( 3K/UL-12KU/L) ? So it may be B12 deficiency. Maybe try some b-complex with folic acid

Although I was B12 deficient my RBC was normal. If may not be the reason. It's just my openion.
