Hi,

Lymphocytosis along with thrombocytopenia suggestive of viral infection. If prolonged fever present then dengue should be ruled out.

Hypersegmented neutrophils might be missed in peripheral smear examination and so might not be mentioned.

Kindly mention your full CBC report to check it and to give more comment. Also mention any specific clinical complaints if present.

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