What would cause a swollen spleen (at 12.7 cm, with volume of 368 ml), with extremely pale tongue, and cracked skin on the palms. I m also having wild mood swings, and I am a male. I believe it started after an insect bite on back of my neck [with one red colored papule], more than a month ago. I had fever for 2 days after the insect bite, and really painful swelling of my spleen. I went and got an ultrasound and sure enough my spleen was swollen. I do have mild "stichy" feeling in my spleen but no pain.
My lab results follow:
RBC: 577 ( normal range: 415 - 580 ) [ seems kind of high for age]
HGB: 160 ( normal range: 135 - 175 )
Platelets: 341 ( normal range: 150 - 350) [seems kind of high for age]
WBC: 7600 ( normal range: 4,000 - 11,000)
LYMPH#: 2730 ( normal range: 1030 - 3200)
NEUT#: 4320 ( normal range: 1870 - 7000)
MCV: 80 (normal range: 79 - 100)
MCH: 28 (normal range: 27 - 32)
MCHC: 348 (normal range: 320 - 360)
RDW: 11.4 (normal range: 11.5 - 14.0)

I am not in the medical field, I am just an artist, but from what you write, and then your suspicions about that insect bite - I most definitely go back to a doctor for a THOROUGH examination.
I would not play or procrastinate with or about your health, when it'd be advisable to go get medical help and information. They are trained, better than a layman to deal with concerns such as yours.
I can offer no information about your test results.
I am not trained to read them for what exactly they mean.
As Hamlet once said UNFAIRLY to Ophelia : Get thee to a nunnery . .
I say to you with helpful advise : Get thee to the infirmary.
No facetiousness here, just concern about your situation, unresolved towards your betterment. Good Luck!
