Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Blood count usually refers to white cell count.
Borderline count is not specific. It should be mentioned whether it is elevated or decreased.
Elevated count is seen in bacterial infections like urine infections.
Whereas low count is seen in viral infections.
I suggest you to upload the report on this webpage so that I can explain you in a better way.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
