My blood report shows 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 also known as leukocytosis, often reflects recent infections or inflammation. A count of 5.67 is slightly above normal but not worrisome if you are otherwise 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.

I received my routine blood test report, which shows an MPV of 13.6. Could you please advise if this requires any precautions or if there is anything to be concerned about? Regards, Upkar

My father is 80 years old and has been suffering from fever for the past 10 days. He was on antibiotics for 5 days and admitted to the hospital after an X ray showed pneumonia and his blood report showed a high WBC count (16,400). After one day of treatment in the hospital, the fever subsided, but the doctor advised to continue treatment for 5 to 6 days before discharge. Now, he has swelling in his hands and legs, and he is also having bathroom related issues. What could be the reason for this swelling, and is it serious?
