I'm looking at my blood report and I'm seeing a few things out of range, like my total leucocytes are at 3.83 which seems low, and my neutrophils are 34.9 and there's something going on with my lymphocytes at 56.7. Also, my basophils and monocytes' absolute counts are not within the normal range. I've also noticed that the mean corpuscular hemoglobin and the MCHC are a bit off. I had a fever not too long ago and still have mucus in my throat. I'm starting to worry because I read that these symptoms could be related to typhoid. Do you think it's possible that I have typhoid, or is there something else going on?
