I just got my blood test results back, and it shows that my absolute basophil count is 0 and my lymphocytes are at 41. Should I be worried? Is this something serious or pretty normal? I'm a little anxious about what these numbers might mean for my health.

An absolute basophil count (ABC) of 0 is generally considered within the normal range, as basophils typically account for less than 1% of total blood cells, while a lymphocyte percentage of 41 is slightly elevated, but may not be a cause for concern, unless accompanied by other abnormal blood test results or clinical symptoms,
