Hello this is Dr Ishu Parashar,
Your blood report seems fine, slight rise in WBC count and decreased platelet mat be due to some mild viral infection which resolve in its own in most conditions.
And regarding atypical lymphocytes, for now those are few in number and you seem to not have any related symptoms,
So that's not an issue to worry about.
Thank you

Hello,
I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
I understand your concern.
From the reports you mentioned:
Hemoglobin: 13 g/dl (normal)
WBC: 6700/µL (normal range)
Platelets: 108,000/µL initially â improved to 170,000/µL after 15 days (good recovery)
The phrase âfew atypical lymphocytes seenâ is common in viral illnesses like dengue, typhoid, or other viral fevers. It usually reflects a reactive immune response of your body to infection, not something dangerous by itself.
Key points:
Since your platelet count improved to normal levels, it indicates recovery.
Atypical lymphocytes are commonly seen in fevers and usually resolve as the infection settles.
It is not the same as blood cancer or serious disease when seen in small numbers during infection.
Advice:
No special treatment is required for âfew atypical lymphocytes.â
Repeat CBC after 4â6 weeks if you want reassurance.
Continue adequate hydration, nutrition, and follow-up with your doctor.
When to consult immediately:
If you develop persistent fever, unexplained weight loss, night sweats, or if blood counts drop again.
At present, your reports are reassuring and suggest recovery from viral illness.
Best regards,
Dr. Romain Rajan
General Physician

Your TLC and absolute lymphocytes count is normal. Abnormal lymphocytes will become relevant if the absolute lymphocytes count is high.
Please get your CBC repeated after two months.

Your blood counts are overall fine. The “few atypical lymphocytes” just means some temporary changes in white cells, usually after viral infections like dengue or typhoid, and it’s nothing to worry about. The fact that your platelets rose from 1.08 to 1.7 lakh is a good sign of recovery. The fatty liver and mild spleen enlargement need lifestyle care (healthy diet, exercise, no alcohol). We’ll just recheck your blood counts in a few weeks to be safe.
