Detailed Answer:
Hello

Metamyelocytes,myelocytes and promyelocytes are immature neutrophils(WBC)and it may be normally seen in blood.Its number may increase if there is infection,inflammation,necrosis etc.
It is important to know total WBC count and presence of myeloblast.
Your findings may be due to infection and generally this is not a serious issue.

You may need clinical correlation and serum leukocyte alkaline phosphatase(LAP)estimation.

Brief Answer:
Your findings suggests mildly raised WBC count and anemia.

Detailed Answer:
Hello

I can understand your concern.Don't worry,I also have experience in pathology.
Your findings suggests mildly raised WBC count and anemia.
It is difficult to comment on type of infection.You may need further tests like urine RE/ME,chest X-ray etc after clinical evaluation.I suggest for proper clinical evaluation so that further tests can be advised.

Parasite infection generally causes increase in eosinophil count.It is normal in your case,so this may be against parasitic infection.

Immature granulocytes are only marginally raised in your case and I don't think it is concerning.

Thank you. That is helpful. When the Dr. prescribed pernethrin, stromectal, permthrin and stromectal again in a months period. She was choosing medication with the hope it might treat raised bumps on forearms that have little bugs that looked like fleas but were not. Is there anything I can do to replace what has been killed in my body that might help. I.e. antibiotics require probiotics.

Those medicines made me so sick and weak and it felt like it was killing me, not parasites. So is there anything? then I will call it a night and ask the dr to find out the levels on the tests you recommended.

Thank you so much for your time and attention.
