The tests you have: Done and the hematology diagnosis are entirely different. The tests you have is for connective tissue disease . The fact that they are negative has nothing to do your hematologic problem. I think stick to what your hematologist advise you and follow his treatment protocol if he already offered you . Good luck.

See below : Reactive (atypical) lymphocytes are usually due to viral illness or stressor on the body. It could be due to a medicine reaction or autoimmune disorder as well. Your CRP level of 0.1 is very low which is good. And your ra/anti ds dna are negative. So overall they didn't find anything abnormal and they called it possibly due to reactive process.
