Hi,

Raised neutrophils indicate the presence of infection. If you never had it, it means you did not have bacterial infection at the time of tests. It is a good sign.

Myelocytes are immature blood cells (neutrophils), they are normally seen in bone marrow. Seen in peripheral blood during infection and inflammation or more serious conditions. You had no myelocytes in the blood test, that means no infection or other problems. A good sign.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.
