High counts: This could represent a serious blood or bone marrow condition...Further evaluation is required preferably by a hematologist.

Specializes in Hematology

It depends: One cannot look just at lynphocyte and neutrophil percentages. It must be interpreted in the context of the total white blood cell count.
