A member asked:

On labs my absolute lymphocytes is 1.5 say low. i'm a 63 female . should i be concerned with this ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: While that level of lymphocytes is low, there are reasons why a person can have low levels, many of which are part of a normal immune response. When a person first encounters a virus or bacteria, neutrophil levels rise, and lymphocyte levels can fall. This switches over a week's time, when lymphocyte levels rise and neutrophils fall. If the overall white cell count is normal, the all is likely ok.
