They help fight off diseases, so its normal to see a temporary rise in the number of lymphocytes after an infection. Lymphocytosis is very common. It is especially common in people who have:
- Had a recent infection (most commonly viral)
- A medical condition that causes long-lasting inflammation, like arthritis
- A reaction to a new medication
- Severe medical illness, such as trauma
- Had their spleen removed
- Certain types of cancer, like leukemia or lymphoma
