Hi doctor,
My blood test shows lymphocytes 60% where the normal range is 20% to 45%. I had immunophenotyping and the values are CD23 - 2.11%, CD19 - 0.30% and CD5 - 79.9%. What does it indicate? Am I a leukemia patient? Please advise.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- I would also like to know the total leukocyte count, platelets, RBC (red blood cell) count.
- Did you have ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate)? Is this the only CBC (complete blood count) you ever had? Is there any fever, chills or weight loss?
- Please answer these questions so that I can help you in a better way.
- I am afraid that it might look like either leukemia or lymphoma. Leukemoid reaction is another possibility and that happens in an acute infectious state.
- Please share the entire CBC results and peripheral smear as well.
- You may have to go through a bone marrow biopsy. I would highly suggest that you should visit a hematologist.

I have attached the requested document. Please have a look and advise.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Thank you for uploading the report (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
- I see that you have low absolute neutrophils, which can happen in leukemia and lymphoma. But, the RBC and platelets are within normal limits, which are used to stage the disease.
- Please be seen by a hematologist; I am still concerned that it might be lymphoma than leukemia since I do not see blast cells or atypical lymphocytes mentioned in the report.
