A member asked:

I have a normal lymphocyte percentage (36.6%); but, a lymph # of 3.2, which was marked as high? what can cause this? should i be concerned?

Specializes in Hematology

No: The absolute lymphocyte count of 3.2 means nothing in and of itself. A modest lymphocytosis could go along with a viral infection, or may just be normal for you.
