What Does Low Lymphocyte Count In An Infant Indicate?

My 7 month old infant has been in and out of the drs and labs trying to figure it all out. Many of his numbers are off and no one will help us with it. Monocytes always high. Lymphocytes always low or high. Neutrophils are either high or low but more often low than high. Plateley count high. Large platelets have always tested abnormal. Ast high. Alt high. And several others off. Help

Hi, low lymphocyte count in an infant is suggestive of sepsis and infection. Platelet count high has no significance in it.Rather its a good sign towards child health. High AST and ALT is again suggestive of liver dysfunction which can be due to sepis itself. The infant will require an antibiotic course and some supplements. Keep good care of his nutrition and feed the baby more often. Keep him warm and consult a pediatrician.
Thanks and regards.
