Hi pvinod,

Your daughter is definitely due for a BMB. The doctor needs to rule out leukemia, as treatment would be different. Blasts are immature blood cells. They would show up in increased numbers in the bone marrow in leukemia.

Your numbers for reporting neutrophils and lymphocytes are different from ours. I am assuming that you are listing percentages??? 87% lymphocytes is pretty high - especially while on high doses of cyclosporine. I don't know if this is typical for AA. It wasn't for me. High lymphocytes can be seen when the body is fighting a virus.

Get those tests and BMB!
