In an otherwise well patient with isolated lymphopenia, normal physical findings and negative investigations, we suggest a repeat full blood count at six months. Lymphopenia is a common finding from a full blood count, especially in elderly patients, where it is usually of no clinical significance. No further investigation is advised in an
