Thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your cousin's situation and problem. Your cousin is having low hemoglobin and high lymphocytes. This is seen in blood cancer like leukemia and lymphoma. Other causes for high lymphocytes are 1. Viral infection 2. Chronic infection like tuberculosis or fungal infection. So to differentiate between all these, I advice to go for bone marrow biopsy. In bone marrow biopsy, if blasts are seen than possibility of blood cancer is high. So consult hematologist and discuss all these.
