Hi and thanks for the query,
The possible causes are very numerous. Generally viral infections , infectious mononucleosis and rarely some blood cancers do cause raised lymphocytes. Some drugs may also be involved. Evaluation and further investigations are a function of a proper clinical review. Kind regards
