Hi..Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

There can be too possibilities - First is lymphocytosis which is increased in absolute count of lymphocytes & other is Relative lymphocytosis in severe neutropenia ( neutrophils are reduced in number )hence percentage of lymphocytes are increased.
So you should know the absolute lymphocyte count of your blood, which is TLC *62/100.

Causes of lymphocytosis are acute viral infections, pertussis, some protozoal infections, tuberculosis & chronic lymphocytic leukemia (blood cancer)
Causes of Relative lymphocytosis are aplastic anemia, arsenic poisoning
radiation, due to drugs such as phenytoin, typhoid, etc

Hope this information helps.
Get well soon.
