Worried about Differential Leucocyte Counts

[RoomRent]

Hi,
Two weeks ago on Saturday night I felt itching in the lfet underarm. Next morning I was suffering from fever and headache. This continued for a next two days. I visted doctor who asked me that its a viral. Fever was gone on Tuesday but I felt a painful lump in left underarm. It was about round in shape and was bummed toward outside. Skin was red. Doctor told me that its a sweat gland infection. He gave me some anti biotics. size of Lump has decreased and pain is gone and my medicine course is on. Thing to worry is, I have had a CBC, which shows High percentage of Lymphocites and Low percentage of Neutrophils.Plsease go though picture. Now I'm worried if I am suffering from some kind of serious blood disease. Please guide me.

Wow, that's really good how you posted the CBC like that. Very  helpful.

The thing to notice is that, while a blood cancer can suppress neuts, it wouldn't happen at all so quickly. Also, lymphoma nodes are almost never painful.

But a virus can make lymphocytes high and neutrophils low - and also cause painful nodes.

Your CBC likely just shows residual effects from the virus.. plus stress which activates hormones like cortisol can also affect things. I wouldn't worry.
