Without knowing the total WBC and the % of each it is impossible to explain whether this is a problem or not. Neutrophils are your arsenal against bacteria and lymphocytes produce antibodies and also fight viruses. If you have a normal WBC and a relatively high lymphocyte count you could have the common cold. It also depends on what the lymphocytes look like - are they normal or atypical (reactive). Your doctor should be able to put together the whole picture and explain it to you: what your symptoms are what your lab work says any other signs or symptoms or history you have. One lab test is only a clue and cannot be diagnostic by itself. It is like going to a crime scene and only getting one clue - usually not enough information.

Lymphocytes usually increase due to infection. Have you recently been sick or currently sick? If there is a problem your doctor will hopefully talk with you about it. Neutrophils are the white blood cells responsible for removal of bacteria from the blood.

What it says to me is that you have an infection or you have a lymphoma. If you have this information, a doctor is better able to interpret the actual numbers and the significance of this better than us.
