What a high Lymphocytes means, and common causes

A higher share of lymphocytes, which classically points towards a viral infection rather than a bacterial one.

Common causes: Viral infections including dengue, chickenpox and COVID, tuberculosis, whooping cough, and in older adults occasionally chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.

What a low Lymphocytes means, and common causes

A lower share or number of lymphocytes, called lymphopenia.

Common causes: Acute infections including severe COVID, steroid medicines, malnutrition, chemotherapy or radiotherapy, HIV, and long-standing kidney disease.

Frequently asked questions

Roughly 20 to 40 percent of white cells, or about 1,000 to 3,000 per microlitre in absolute terms.

Usually yes in adults with a recent fever, but not always. Persistently high lymphocytes over several reports need a doctor's review.

They can be, particularly alongside a long-standing cough, fever and weight loss, but the blood count alone cannot diagnose tuberculosis.

Zyadatar viral infection ki nishani hai, jaise dengue ya flu. Baar baar zyada aaye to doctor se dikhana chahiye.
