General Information About the Test
Test Process and Preparation
A high lymphocyte value (Lymphocytosis) generally indicates that the body is undergoing a viral infection such as the flu, common cold, chickenpox, hepatitis, or infectious mononucleosis (kissing disease).
A low lymphocyte count (Lymphocytopenia) is seen in situations where the immune system is severely suppressed. It can decrease in HIV/AIDS disease, intense radiation or chemotherapy treatment, severe malnutrition, and certain autoimmune diseases (Lupus, etc.).
No. The lymphocyte value is automatically calculated and reported as a percentage and an absolute number in the results of the routine Complete Blood Count (Hemogram/CBC) test you provide.
