RBC was 3.8 (N 3.9-5.6), WCC was 4.3 (N 4.5-12.5), platelet was 102 (N 150-400). My neutrophil was also low 36 (N 47-67). But my lymphocyte count was high 56 (N 25-45). I've read about aplastic anaemia and my result suit the picture. But the cause of this anaemia is various. The 2% atypical lymphocytes of reactive form makes me worry about leukaemia. What should i do next? (N=normal values)

atypical lymphocytes are exactly that... atypical.
I have seen this sort of blood picture with viral illnesses much more commonly than with leukemia or lymphoma.
Talk with your doctor about it. He/she should have more information by the time you see them.
Admittedly, you do have (slightly) low Red cells, white cells AND platelets... but the clinical picture is the most important thing here, and your doctor should be the one diagnosing this

You do not have leukemia. All blood test have minor variances in them. We all are not perfect. The platelets are a little low, but that can be for many reasons. anything from a viral infection to some type of medication your are taking. How did you get these blood test results anyway? You are such a worry wart. Stop that nonsense now.

After your abnormal Compltete Bood Count, the 2nd thing that your MD will ask for is Peripheral Blood Smear but to confirm the diagnosis of leukemia and the gold standard in the diagnosis is Bone Marrow Aspiration and Determination. Good Luck, I hope your condition maybe nutritional factor rather than leukemia.

it doesnt really sound like leukemia, if it was, the counts would be much lower. it could just be an infection (that might be y ur lymphocytes r high). but im not a doctor, u should ask urs.

Sounds as though you might have the dreaded hypochondriasis, these numbers are minimally out of normal range, yet they may be normal for you.
Get out of the house, do something for someone else, so the self-absorption won't overwhelm you.
