Interpretation of direct detection of surface abs on neutrophils?

We have used a direct antiglobulin method to detect autoantibodies on canine
neutrophils in a case of suspected neutropenia.  The patient had 3.5X the 
median flourescence seen on normal canine neutrophils.  

Are these levels consistent with a diagnosis of immune mediated neutropenia?
