Infection etc: A high neutrophil count in the WBC differential can be from inflammation including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus. Sarcoidosis, or from infection. Low lymphocyte count likely from above.

High cell counts: Need more information. E.G. What is your age and gender. What are the levels of neutrophils and lmphocytes. Do you have any illness or do you get fevers.

Maybe nothing.: Could indicate normal variation or an infection. Depends upon how high the WBC count is. If you were not ill before the blood was drawn and it was drawn "routinely" this is very likely to be nothing. It does illustrate the need to draw blood with a purpose in mind.
