Brief Answer:
Total and differential leucocyte count is needed for interpretation

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.

Lymphocytes accounting for 43.9% can only be interpreted when the total leukocyte count and the differential count is known.

Please post the total leukocyte count and differential count for interpretation.

Awaiting....

Thanks,
Take care

Wbc-4.5 Lymphocytes 2.0 I don't see anything that says diff. How would that read on the report?

Brief Answer:
With WBC count of 4500/microlitre, 43.9%lymphocytes is normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HCM,
With WBC count of 4500 / microlitre, differential of 43.9% is normal and it shows relative lymphocytosis.
The absolute lymphocyte count is 2000/microlitre which is normal.
Lymphocyte up to 4000/microlitre is considered normal.

Thanks and take care
