Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com. Dear madam/sir, It will be difficult to interpret with just one value of CBC stating low neutrophil count. The cellular composition in blood is in constant renewal process and sometimes there can be a fluctuation in values without symptoms and this is nothing to worry about. On the other hand, rarely there can be some serious underlying disorder which needs extensive blood work up. I would need a peripheral smear to correlate and provide a definitive opinion. -Can you please upload the peripheral smear result and other investigations, if any? -Do you have any symptoms? -Can you please mention the reason for undergoing this test? I expect your reports at the earliest to ascertain the reason for your low neutrophil count. Kind regards.
I have attached the CBC results? this was a routine test .
what can you infer from the attached CBC results?
Hello.
With no symptoms and the test done routinely, the Neutrophil count can be taken as a normal variation now. You need not be worried at this time. I would recommend you to repeat the blood test along with a smear study after about 10 days. We can correlate the blood investigations and take it further if needed.
Kind regards.
