Well: Doctors trreat patients not numbers. Usually in a CBC for a virus the WBC can be normal or low or high but the neurtophils are low and the lymphocytes are high.

Lab data: The values you quote are meaningless without an understanding of the clinical history and a physical exam. Not sure what is scaring you because the values seem normal. Discuss with the doctor and if not getting adequate responses get a second opinion. Good luck and best wishes.
