Hello doctor, My 13-month-old baby has neutrophils 23, lymphocytes 73, WBC 6100, and hemoglobin level is 8.9. Is there any worry?
Hello, Welcome to the icliniq.com. Following is my opinion for your asked question regarding CBC (complete blood count) of your child. The lymphocyte count are usually high in children. So you may need not to worry about lymphocytes count. But the hemoglobin level of your child is definitely low suggestive of anemia. It could be nutritional anemia or hemolytic anemia like cause. I suggest you do further work up for anemia with serum ferritin, serum iron, peripheral smear examination, and USG abdomen. You can consult a nearby pediatrician once for physical examination. His PCV (packed cell volume) and MCV (mean corpuscular volume) is low, so most probably he is having iron deficiency anemia. According to the cause specific treatment is guided. I hope this helps.
