Brief Answer:
DLC will be more informative if you post TLC also.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
The differential leukocyte count (DLC) posted by you will be more informative if you post the total leukocyte count (TLC) or white blood cells count.
Rest of the blood parameters- hemoglobin, RBC indices and platelets are within normal range.

Thanks and take care

Brief Answer:
Lymphocytes are slightly reduced, however, no serious condition indicated.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome again.
The TLC and DLC shows low lymphocytes and elevated eosinophils.
However, these values do not suggest anything serious.
Eosinophils are elevated in case of parasitic infection and allergies.
I suggest you to take treatment for fever currently.
You cab repeat the TLC and DLC after 1-2 months to check the TLC and DLC.
If the levels remain deranged even after 1-2 months, then you require treatment for the same.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja Puri
