My blood report is showing mild leukocytosis and my lymphocyte count is increasing each month. Currently, my lymphocyte count is 5.67. Is there anything to worry about?

A mild increase in lymphocytes and white blood cells often reflects recent infections or inflammation. A count of 5.67 is slightly above normal but not worrisome if you are healthy. Monitor the trend with repeat tests. If it continues to rise or if you develop new symptoms like fever, weight loss, or fatigue, consult a doctor.
