What does abnormal WBC count and Lymphocyte count suggest?
Patient: HELLO DOCTOR,I RECENTLY HAD A WEELL WOMEN'S CHECK AND FOUND THE RESULTS TO BE NORMAL EXCEPT MY BLOOD TEST THE WBC COUNT WAS 4.8 AND THE LYMPHOCYTE COUNT TO BE 1.3. THEN THE PCP HAD ADVISED ME TO REPEAT THE TEST AND THE NEXT TIME THE WBC COUNT WAS3.7 AND MY LYMPHOCYTE COUNT WAS 1.2 WITH THE PLATELETS COUNT 127 WHICH WERE NORMAL FOR THE FIRST TIME. I HAVE NO TOHER SMPTOMS LIKE LETHARGY, WEAKNESS ETC... THE PCP HAS SUGGESTED ME TO GO TO THE HEMATOLOGIST. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST.THANK YOU Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have slightly low wbc count.  Your platelet count is also at low normal range.  Most common cause is viral infection.  If you have no symptoms then no need to worry.  No need to consult haematologist. Just go for repeat blood test after a week.  If you have abnormal results then consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Right now no treatment is required. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
