What Does This Blood Count Result Indicate?
Can someone please help make sense of my recent blood work?
Below are results of my recent blood work taking 9.20.10. I recently had an allergic reaction to pecans..and the doctor gave me prednisone and xycal to take for 5 days. I need to know if something is wrong..and what this could indicate...thank you!

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
After studying the detailed reports you wrote here, I would like to suggest that the two reports are okay with an interval of 5 days and these just suggest some viral/allergic reaction with minimal reactive changes in granulocyte groups...the tests were done in some automated analyser....
Reactive and relative lymphomonocytosis is there; not to worry...others are nearly normal!
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
