Is there an abnormality in the baby's blood test?

Patient's question:

Baby girl, 6 months, blood routine examination: white blood cells: 17.1, lymphocyte ratio: 75.4, monocyte ratio: 8.2, neutrophil ratio: 16.4, lymphocyte count: 12.9, monocyte count: 1.4, neutrophil count. Is there any abnormality in the blood routine?

Doctor's answer:

Your child's blood test results are generally normal. However, the WBC (white blood cell count) is high, and the lymphocyte percentage is elevated, which may indicate the presence of an infection. The elevated white blood cell count is primarily due to inflammation, such as tonsillitis or a cold. The high absolute neutrophil count (NEUT) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) are not particularly significant. The platelet count (PLT) should be evaluated based on specific values, and it is recommended to seek treatment at a formal and professional hospital.
