My blood report shows that my lymphocyte percentage is 59 and my absolute lymphocyte number is 3500 per microlitre. Is this dangerous? What is the alarming level of absolute lymphocyte count?

A lymphocyte count of 3500 per microlitre is on the higher side but not necessarily dangerous. This can happen during viral infections, stress, or mild inflammation. The percentage 59 percent is high, but the absolute count matters more. Concerning levels are typically greater than 5000 to 6000 per microlitre without infection, or less than 1000 per microlitre. Recheck after 2 to 3 weeks if no clear cause is found. If still high, consult a physician.
