foliculitis
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..

Hello,
I can understand your concern for these symptoms. Lymphocytosis is an increase in the number or proportion of lymphocytes in the blood and is characteristic of infections which may be viral, bacterial or protozoal in nature. Other causes are connective tissue diseases, thyrotoxicosis, Addison's disease, and splenomegaly with splenic sequestration of granulocytes.
This can be due to any viral infection or bacterial infection like folliculitis which is caused by Staph bacteria. It will take some time to come back to normal.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
