A member asked:

Pbs shows few atypical lymphocytes seen. no blast noted. smear was taken one week before menstruation. could this be from hormonal changes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Viral infection: Atypical lymphocytes are more likely from a viral infection, rather than hormonal changes. A few atypical lymphs alone are not a worrisome finding. If you do not have any symptoms, there may be no need for immediate follow-up. Your doctor may repeat the test at the next visit.
