Brief Answer:
They are normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

I have gone through the reports and did not find anything alarming. The lymph node biopsy is of 2015 and it shows follicular hyperplasia, usually in response to some infection. By this time, it must have settled. The T/B markers support the diagnosis.

He has a factor v Leiden heterozygous, which means his risk of having clots is higher. Any manifestation of clot like leg swelling with or without pain should be dealt with immediately.

His current symptoms are very non-specific and probably unrelated to any of the above. Anxiety treatment should help.

Hope this helps.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be significant

Detailed Answer:
It denotes more b cells but as long as those cells are looking normal, nothing to worry. And already 2 years have passed. So if it was serious, the lymph nodes would have enlarged much earlier.
