Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Differential count is necessary to make a diagnosis.
2. 57000 is too high and could be due to mainly chronic lymphocytic leukemia at this age or secondary to bone marrow occupying lesion.
3. Infection would not usually cause this high range. If the lymphocytes count is high, it will support diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Bone marrow biopsy along with flow cytometry is necessary for further categorization and treatment.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
