A WBC count of 14,500 indicates the body is likely fighting an infection or inflammation. It could be due to a recent illness, such as cold, flu, or other bacterial infections. If you have symptoms like fever, fatigue, or localized pain, consult a doctor.

Hi, my recent blood test report shows the following: Lymphocytes: 36 percent (absolute 3,564), compared to 46 percent in 2013 Eosinophils: 6 percent (absolute 594) Is this report normal? Why are some values higher or lower than before? Do I need to make any lifestyle or dietary changes? Please guide me
