What could be the reason for a high lymphocyte count?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I just want to get my brother's CBC annual report checked. Is everything fine? I see lymphocytes little high. Is that dangerous? I am worried and he is actually very healthy and fine last week he had loose motion but now he is fine and fit again.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is fine. Slightly lymphocytes percentage is elevated, but this much variation is acceptable. Also, last week infection might have contributed to this slightly changed percentage, but it is nothing to worry as he is totally asymptomatic. If possible, get this repeated after two weeks just to see a resolution.
For more information consult an internal medicine physician online.

Thank you doctor,
He is afraid of injections. Actually, it would be very difficult. I just want to know if he is fine. I was worried. I asked another doctor he says it is normal variation, nothing to worry as WBC count is absolutely normal. Is he right?
