6. Atypical Lymphocytosis

Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that help to keep us safe from pathogens. They get their name because they are mainly found in lymph, which is a type of fluid that is found flowing through our lymphatic system. When there is a higher than usual relative number of lymphocytes in the blood than usual, it is a condition known as lymphocytosis.

Atypical lymphocytosis can be caused by drug reaction with DRESS. It results in symptoms including, but not limited to, shortness of breath, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, loss of appetite, and a fever.
