Detailed Answer:
Hi, thank you for using HealthcareMagic.

The level of immature granulocytes in your blood is a little bit high. The increase of immature granulocytes in blood suggests many different pathologies. But in the most common cases it suggests viral infections, bacterial infections and in some other cases brucellosis and TBC.

However, I think you should repeat the blood test you've done after 2 or 3 weeks. If the level is still high, then you must consult a hematologist and make some further tests to find the cause.

If you do not need any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.

Wish you good health.
Dr. Behar.
