Hi pvinod,

I think that you should bring up your daughter's high lymphocyte count with her doctor. There may be something else going on that is not associated with Aplastic Anemia or ATG. It may be the sign of another infection or illness.

To give you a feel for lymphocyte percentages...
My lab has a normal percentage (for adults) as 26-46%.
Pre-ATG, my lymphocyte % was high (up to 67%).
During ATG, it dropped to 7%.
A week later, it was back in the normal range and has stayed there except when I am sick. This is despite being on Cyclosporine.

Be persistant with the doctors to see what else may be going on! Her situation sounds unusual.
