What does it mean when CBC result show that I have 0.83 Segmenters and 0.17 Lymphocytes?
Wrath – To report the percentage of circulating white blood cells (WBC) as a decimal number is possible, but is not done in the USA. Instead a % is used so that 0.83 = 83% and 0.17 = 17%. This is not enough information to tell if anything is wrong since you need a third number which is the total WBC count. Your results could be normal or indicate an increase in segmenters (usually called neutrophils or segmented neutrophils) or it might be caused by an infection or by several other conditions. If the total WBC is in or near the normal range of 4.0 to 11.0 thousand (4,000 to 11,000, then your results are most likely normal. If your total WBC is higher, then your doctor needs to find out whether it is an infection or something else in order to give proper treatment.
