Is There Any Doctor Available To Analyse This Report?
What does it mean from this blood test 1.6 giga/l neutrophil? Is it below the range? And if so, what effects would it have on me? Does that mean that I would be less immune to diseases because I am below the range of a healthy person for this reading?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The differential white blood cell count can be analysed after analysing the total leukocyte count and/or the absolute counts.
You need to post the total leukocyte count also to interpret whether the neutrophil count is low or within normal range.
Low neutrophil counts are seen in:
1. After bacterial infections, in this case the neutrophils get exhausted after after fighting against the infectious organism and there is temporary fall in neutrophil count.
2. Congeital low neutophils
Thanks and take care
