I'm really concerned about my brother. His CBC report shows elevated neutrophils at 7.59, low lymphocytes at 17, eosinophils at 0.54, TLC is at 10.3, and his RBC count is 4.45. The other day he fainted after being outside in the heat. What could be causing this? I'm quite worried and just want to understand what's going on.
