Meaning of high lymphocyte count?


My nephew (Age 6 Yr 1 Month) had a blood test report …… where we see that in “Differential Leucocyte Count" segment the “Lymphocytes” is High (46%). In "Reference" segment we found that normal Lymphocytes level is 20% to 40%. Please tell me is there any cause of danger?? From this, is there any chance of "Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia"?
In the Report : Total Leucocyte Count is 9200/cu mm.   and    Neutrophils is 44%.
There are no viral fever or bacteria infection.

Hi.
In children, the lymphocyte count is commonly higher as compared to the neutrophil count.  Your nephew’s lymphocyte count can still be considered within the normal range in the pediatric population.   
Laboratory results should always be correlated with the clinical signs and symptoms.  A diagnosis is not based solely on the laboratory results or on the signs and symptoms.   
Take care.
