the lymphocyte counts look really normal to me, percentage is also different from an absolute count, which can also be measured
but some info about lymphocyte count maybe, I have ideopathic lymphonenia, it means low lymphocytes for an unknown reason, as a percentage they are often 10-15%, but since that doesn't mean much, often absolute CD4 / CD8 / CD48+ are measured, this is what I learned
lymphocyte counts differ if the blood is taken in the morning or evening
low lymphocyte counts in blood does not always mean low lymphocyte count in the body, it can but what is also possible is that the adaptive immune response recruited lymphocytes from the lymph system, so they are there..but they're in tissue
low lymphocytes does not mean all lymphocyte types are low, often it is either B or T cells, NK cells are rarely low, and it's very rare that both B and T cells are low, for me CD4 and CD8 are low, which are T cell differentiators, my NK and B cells are fine
if lymphocytes become really low, you are given preventive antibiotics and sometimes antivirals (I am given sulfamethoxazol so I don't get a lung infection, it's a prevention type antibiotics, even if I don't have an infection right now)
ideopathic lymphopenia differs from other diseases with low lymphocytes like HIV in that HIV they will keep dropping, with crohn's disease and ideopathic reasons, they remain stable usually, my T cells are quite low, but they don't drop...in ppl with HIV they keep dropping, which then results in infections etc
mood influences the immune system and especially lymphocytes, just being diagnosed with HIV often coincides with a further drop in lymphocytes, the psychological stress associated with diagnosis has a marked influence on the immune system
many ppl with crohn's disease have lower lymphocytes, it might just be because many of the T cells are present in tissue
