Depends: Hello, a blood count cannot be interpreted in isolation and without the other numbers of this test. It's very important to know the clinical picture (symptoms and findings on exam) as well as baseline values. The numbers you give are absolutely NOT normal. Please see your physician who'll be able to put these results for you in perspective.

A repeat test in a few weeks may show a normalizing trend. GOOD LUCK.
