I have just received my CBC report. I would like to know which specific counts or parameters in the CBC indicate a weakened immune system, as there are many values listed and I am unsure which ones are important.

Low WBC count (especially neutrophils and lymphocytes) may indicate weak immunity. If any counts are significantly low, follow up with a doctor is needed.

My platelet distribution width PDW is 8.9 FL as per my blood report which is below the normal range. My platelet to large cell ratio PLCR is low at 14.8 percent. Is this a cause for worry and should I consult a doctor?

I recently had a blood test for Typhidot IgM, and the result came back reactive, but I never experienced fever or other typical typhoid symptoms. I have started taking medicines, but now I feel weak and dizzy. Could you please explain what a reactive Typhidot IgM result means? Does it definitely mean I have typhoid? What should I do next?
