Hi,
How are you?
Lymphocytes can increase in numbers due to many reasons. The most common causes are viral infections like infectious mononucleosis, cytomegalovirus infection, respiratory syncytial virus which causes common cold. In all probability the elevated lymphocytes are due to common cold that she has right now.
So right now since she has no other symptoms like loss of appetite, weight loss, easy fatigability, watchful waiting will be the right thing to do.
Do keep a check on the counts though, hopefully when the cold clears up completely the counts will return to normal.
Do keep us posted!
Hi,
Thank you so much for your reply! The cold she had was actually a few weeks before she had the blood test that showed the high lymphocytes. Do you think that can still be the cause? It was a bad cold but she was recovered when she had the blood test. Please let me know what you think. Thanks again for your post!
