NRBC count

My daughter's counts posted today included an NRBC count of 1/100 WBC. In researching what that means it apparently can be an indication of leukemia. There are lots of less threatening reasons as well but one article seemed to indicate that it is rare to see this in aplastic anemia. Has anybody else had an NRBC (Nucleated Red Blood Cell, also called normoblast) greater than 0? The good news is that Hgb and platelets held steady from last week and neutrophils increased from .6 to .9 so I was doing a happy dance about the cyclosporine perhaps working until I saw the new number. Just wondering how freaked out I should be about the possibility that the relapse has been caused by a progression to something worse.
