A member asked:

Low lymphocytes and high neutrophils, what are the possible causes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Infection.: Depends on relative proportions, but in general without symptoms this is sometimes a big nothing. Could potentially be an infection, but you would very likely be aware of it through some other means such as pain, etc.
