A member asked:
Is is normal to have high neutrophils and low lymphocytes when having a food poisoning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: True food poisoning is a short lived event. Your body reacts acutely to things like that by increasing neutrophils. Lymphocytes respond more slowly. Lower than normal total lymphocyte levels would be from something else. Neither of those findings are diagnostic and it's hard to tell without actually knowing the real numbers you have.
