Missed decimal: It is probably a missed decimal point. Call your dr who ordered to confirm it was normal, if it is really concerning you. Best wishes.

Yes the lab scales v: Please see the reference range; it can be per dl(100ml) or per liter. It is a difference of one decimal point. Both of the values you have given are normal and identical but they are expressed as per 100ml or per liter.
