Dehydration is not typically known to cause leukopenia. Leukopenia is most commonly caused by factors that affect bone marrow function, such as certain medications or radiation therapy, or by conditions that affect the immune system, such as AIDS. Lead poisoning can also damage bone marrow and cause leukopenia, while immunosuppressant drugs are designed to suppress immune system activity, which can lead to lower white blood cell counts.
