What does a low lymphocyte percentage indicate?
Disease description:
Two days ago, during a routine health check-up at the hospital, I was told that my lymphocyte percentage is low. Could you please explain what this means?

Dr. Zhang Nan
Hello, lymphocytes and neutrophils are inflammatory cells in the human body. A common cause of an elevated neutrophil percentage—and consequently a reduced lymphocyte percentage—is bacterial infection. Additionally, a decline in the body’s resistance or immune function may also lead to a decreased lymphocyte count. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
