A member asked:
Slightly elevated relative neutrophils (70.3%) but normal absolute neutrophils (4.5, with 1.3-7.0 being lab reference range). infection likely?

Not likely: It all depends on your symptoms, cultures, etc, but your neutrophil count is normal.

Nonspecific: Laboratory tests and blood work all have to be interpreted in a clinical context. In short this means that not all labs are 100% accurate - a high neutrophil percentage may be indicative of infection, but not always. 70% is not a very high number :)

I have inflamation in my tonsils. My CBC results are: a high count of neutrophils 9000 mm3 and a low count oflymphocites of 600mm3 (lab mini range 1500). Could it bea bacterial infection? I am worried.
Lab results: WBC 5.62, RBC 4.42, Hemoglobin 12.2, Neutrophil 47.7, Lymphocyte 43.6. Dr requested labs due to bruises all over both legs. Since lab, more bruises (haven't hit them) /mouth sores/swollen neck glands. No current infections. Thoughts?
Fever, bone pain and body aches. Had a CBC that showed WBC of 16.42 (neutrophils abs 13.74). All other values on CBC within normal ranges. Is this likely an infection or leukemia?
1 year old boy has 0.5% immature granulocytes (lab range 0-0.3). Monocytes 2.6 %(labs range 3.9-12.3). He did not have any infection or something at the time of the blood test. Does it look normal?
