Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

The Differential count gives relative percentage of each type of cell with neutrophil being in the range below.

The normal range for Neutrophils is 2.0–7.0×10 9/l (40–80%)

Your value is only slightly out of range. If there is no focus of infection or the TLC count is within range then there is no need to worry.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
