Neutrophils are the most common type of white blood cells. They engulf and kill microbes.

My father recent regular health check up report shows a high neutrophil count and a low lymphocyte count, which is similar to the report from the previous month as well. He also has existing conditions such as piles and glaucoma.

My wife is experiencing headache, body pain, lower abdominal pain, nausea, and loss of appetite. Two months ago, she had low platelets and typhoid, but was treated and diagnosed at that time. Now she is having similar problems again. Recently, her hematology tests were done, including CRP, ESR, CBC, and routine urine examination. I have attached the test reports for your reference. Please advise on the next steps.
