I have a six month old baby. At four months he had a CBC and his lymphocytes came back very high and his neutrophils very low. He recently had his blood drawn and his neutrophils were at 2% and lymphocytes at 97%. His RBC is on the very low end of normal and his platelets have decreased to 295 from 481 a week ago. He has had smudge cells show up twice on his blood tests. I am scared that this evolving into leukemia. Do you think that could be the case?
