 Hello,Your son's blood parameters though they show some variations do not show any overt abnormality.An absolute neutrophil count when it goes below 1500 needs scrutiny and might get classified as mild neutropenia.Blacks have a lower ANC value.The presentation for neutropenia is presenting with infections.Chronic benign neutropenias familial and non familial are known.These are not problematic.Drugs can induce neutropenia.Immunologic neutropenias,congenital syndromes could also present this in part.Reduction in monocyte values again could lead to infection states.
A repeat test may be done but in the absence of any clinical finding may not be of significance.However do consult your doctor who can give you a better correlation.
Best wishes.
