A low lymphocyte percentage can happen during acute infections or stress. It is not always serious and needs to be considered along with other blood parameters. Follow-up may be needed only if symptoms persist.

I would like to understand what a peripheral smear means in a blood report. Could you please let me know if it indicates a serious problem? Also, kindly suggest if there is any specific diet that should be followed. I have attached my report for your reference.

Sir my friend is 26 years old. His RT PCR report is negative but he has fever cold cough and loss of smell and taste. Today I got a CT chest scan done. Please check my report for any infection.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi Doctor, earlier the doctor mentioned that he has heart problems and prescribed medicines. Later, we were told it was thyroid related, and now the doctor is saying it is a liver infection. We feel we are not getting a clear solution or proper guidance. Please advise us on what should be done next.
