Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
High lymphocyte count indicate chronic infection and anemia,
Rare occasions it may be leukemoid reaction or leukemia.
But for this diagnosis Immature WBC must be present in the peripheral smear.
If needed bone marrow study can be done.
Better consult pediatrician.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
