Hi
Thanks for your query.
Based on your query and reports, am of the following opinion.
1. Leucopenia is a result of infection probably malaria.
2. Since his bone marrow is normal, leucopenia is transient and cell count will get to normal once the infection settles.
3. Lymphocytosis is relative as there is a decrease in neutrophil count.
4. For now he would require granulocyte therapy to correct the low counts.
5. Also treatment of underlying cause that is malaria and management of pneumonia is necessary.
Hope this helps
