A white cell differential was performed for an adult female, with the following percentages of cells counted: Neutrophils = 25%, Lymphocytes = 69%, Monocytes = 5%, Eosinophils = 1%, Basophils = <1% Given that the total white cell count for this individual is 8.1x109/L, calculate the absolute number of lymphocytes per litre of blood. Discuss possible causes for any of the white cell differential counts which do not fall within the expected reference ranges.
