I'm really concerned about my recent blood test results that showed a high lymphocyte count of 3.65 and 42, as well as an increase in platelet size with high values for PDW, MPV, and PLCR. I'm worried about what these numbers could mean. Could there be a specific health issue causing these changes?
A high lymphocyte count (lymphocytosis) of 3.65 and 42% can be caused by various factors, including viral infections, chronic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, or blood cancers, while an increased platelet size (PDW, MPV, PLCR) may indicate a platelet disorder or a bone marrow response to inflammation or infection, so it's essential to consult a hematologist for further evaluation and diagnosis.

I've had chronic ITP since I was a kid and my platelets are usually low, like under 20000, but they've been stable at 80000 for a while now. I'm 23 and recently needed amoxicillin for a couple of weeks, which is when I started noticing some random bruising, like one on my thigh that's a few inches long. It's kind of freaking me out because I haven't experienced this in a bit and there are no other symptoms. Should I be worried about this?
I would advise you to visit the ER, it is likely that your platelets have dropped down to a dangerous level. So kindly go to the ER and get evaluated at the earliest and take the necessary treatment for it. Drink pappaya leaf juice which will help increase the level of platelets.
