A member asked:

What illness would cause your wbc, platelets, and neutrophils to be low and lymphocytes to be high and then switch after a couple months?

Dr. Ed Kaplan answered

Specializes in Hematology and Oncology

Viral infection: If your lymphocyte count is high, it can be a sign of chronic lymphocytic leukemia or a reaction to a viral or fungal infection. (or both). When the lymphs areup, the other cell lines can be supressed. Further evaluation may be needed.
