what are the causes of having high lymphocytes?

Question

i'm 1 point over the suggested range, is this bad? what are the side effects and how can I lower it down within the suggested range.

Answer 1

A lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell which is usually elevated during a viral infection. The fact that 1 point about the normal rang really doesn't mean that you have a viral infection. it just means that there was one or two more lymphocytes in the blod smear that the computer read...nothing to worry about.

Answer 2

You lucky thing! My lymphocytes are 7.68 when the norm is 1.1 to 4.1 moreover some are atypical but this is pretty normal for me. No I do not have Glandular Fever! In fact never had Glandular Fever [Mono}
