Suggest Treatment For Elevated Lymphocyte Count
Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear.
Welcome to HCM. I understand your concern.
A borderline elevated lymphocyte count after a recent cold should not cause any undue worry.
Its most likely due to the viral infection, moreover for CLL to be diagnosed there must be at least some evidence of atypical smudge cells on peripheral blood picture which is not the case here.
You can repeat the blood counts after a week or so. I do not advise any further tests at this time.
Thanks and regards
