Smear report shows lymphocytosis


Chest x ray is clear as per docter.

Date 28/11/06
Peripheral blood film Microscopy shows:

RBC SERIES:
Predominantly normocytic normochromic cell.
Significant anisopikilocytes present.
Polychromasia not significant
No NRBC spherocytes target cells or sickle cells seen .

WBC SERIES:
Total count appear normal .
Cell distribution show predominant lymphocytes.
Atypical cells seen
No immature cells or toxic granules seen
Atypical lymphocytes are present.

Retic count : 0.84percent

PLATELETS:
Adequate and in clumps

OPINION:
Lymphocytosis with Atypical cell

ADVICE:
FINGER PRICK SMEAR EXAMINATION

CRP : 0.77 mg/L (refrence 0 - 7)
ESR : 11.00 mm/hr (refrence range 0 - 9)

29/11/06

FINGER PRICK SMEAR EXAMINATION

RBC SERIES:
Predominantly normocytic normochromic cell.
Significant anisopoikilocytosis present.
Polychromasia not significant
No NRBC spherocytes target cells or sickle cells seen .


WBC SERIES:
Total count appear normal .
Cell distribution show predominant lymphocytes, With small mature lympocytes
and few activated ones
Atypical cells immature cells or toxic granules not seen


PLATELETS:
Adequate and in clumps

Hemoparasites:
Malaria parasites and microfilaria not seen.

Opinion : Lympocytosis

Comment : Possibly reactive to viral infection

whether the report indicates any thing serious , as my son weight is 15.4 kg and he is 3 years old with no fever now and he is active with good eating habit and no weight loss observed. He had a fever 18 days back due to cough and cold, he has cold now.

Thanks

Looks to me like he has a cold.

Comment : Possibly reactive to viral infection

A viral infection is can just be a cold or the flu. Medication will not get rid of it, it has to go away on its own.
