Hello and welcome to HCM,
A high lymphocyte count and low neutrophil count is seen in viral infections, few bacterial infection like typhoid and chronic infection.
However, it is best to comment on the differential leukocyte count after getting the total leukocyte count done.
Get your mother checked up for any chronic illness or viral infection.
Thanks and take care
