Abnormal WBC counts...

sir/madam,
I recently under went a complete blood check up...
all my parameters were correct,except for WBC..
Just before that I suffered from folliculitis and fungal infection...
I had taken 'doxycycline for folliculits' and anti-fungal tablets for fungal infection...
1.)the total WBC count was around 3500(which is less)
2.)there was lymphocytosis
3.)all other parameters were normal...

What do u think is the possible cause for this abnormality?

Would be waiting for ur reply...

well, for isolated lymphocytosis, I'd guess a viral infection. have you had a lot of stress lately that weakened your immunity and gave you bacteria, fungal and virus infection all at once?

You probably also saw leukemia stated as a cause but that'd be much more rare, AFAIK.

You might also check any such side effects from your antifungal med.

It might be something very complex: e.g. your neutrophils would have been increased because of the bacteria and fungus, but the virus had an effect toward neutropenia and the net result was normal neuts.
