Likely no illness: Severity of symptoms and progression are the 2 best ways to assess disease. If symptoms persist or increase, prudent to have your physician evaluate. Abnormalities in the complete blood count often are small variations in the range and may not be significant. Best is to discuss with your physician. Your best approach is to have a careful physician evaluate your clinical presentation.

Doubt it: You are not discharged from an ER with active meningitis. The symptoms and findings you report are consistent with a minor illness.
