Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your basophil count 4 is high. But total leukocyte count is normal. So not a cause of big worry. Most commonly high basophil count is seen in chronic myeloid leukemia. But your total wbc count is normal. So it is not a possibility in your case. It is also seen in ulcerative colitis or myxoedma. Many a times no any specific causes found. So no need to worry. Just be relaxed. Take treatment according to your symptoms.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
