English term

but evaluation requires identification of the cause.

Non-PRO English to Chinese Medical Medical (general) pathology
Neutropenia
(Agranulocytosis; Granulocytopenia)
Neutropenia is a reduction in the blood neutrophil (granulocyte) count.
If it is severe, the risk and severity of bacterial and fungal infections increase.
Focal symptoms of infection may be muted, but fever is present during most serious infections.
Diagnosis is by WBC count, but evaluation requires identification of the cause.


Please help understand the last sentence. Does it mean "the final evaluation of the case(patient) requires identification of the cause of the disease?" Can anyone help in Chinese? thank you.

需要(进一步)查明病因以明确诊断

Your interpretation is right.
Neutropenia is a "signal" diagnosis, which warrants a further workup to find out the underlying "cause."
