Brief Answer:
Lymphocytes can increase in infection. Please attach the blood report.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.

Lymphocytes can increase in infection.
However, we need to seen the absolute counts of different white blood cells to decide whether any cell type is actually increased or the increase is relative.
I am afraid you have not attached the report with your query.
Please attach the report for more information and interpretation.

Thanks and take care

Brief Answer:
Report suggests absolute increase in lymphocytes, Flowcytometry advised.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome again,
The blood report shows an absolute increase in lymphocytes.
There has XXXXXXX a suggestion of immunophenotyping of the lymphocytes.
Thus, an investigation called Flowcytometry is advised.
The cell morphology does not suggest any neoplasm or cancer at this stage.
Flowcytometry will determine the exact nature of lymphocytes- whether they are increased due to infective / inflammatory condition or they are increased due to neoplasm.
In addition, I suggest you to consult a physician for clinical assessment.

Thanks and take care
