The best thing to do would be to ask the doctor what he did. There are
many blood tests out there. He could have been doing some sort of rapid
testing in his office. Those numbers MAY pertain to a WBC count, but
it's hard to be sure. Does he do blood work in his office?

I really tend to doubt if it were something as bad as leukemia or
lymphoma. These diagnoses take a full vial of blood run at a full
clinical lab (in the case of leukemia) with the results usually being
reviewed by a pathologist before diagnosis of anything like that. With
lymphoma, I would suspect there would be other symptoms other than a
little white spot that is now gone.

Your doc is the one to ask about this stuff, rather than worrying over
the internet. I'm glad your daughter feels better now. If they won't
tell you what they did, insist - you or your insurance company paid for
whatever they did. No one does anything for free.

From these little symptoms, I also will try to analize emocromocitometric
esame, and hepathic enzime (Transaminase ALT and AST), because i suppose it
may be  infective mononucleosis. In this case i think that the blood from
the finger was used for a monotest (a short test used to indagate
mononucleosis). In this case it is a simple desease with good resolution
after a period of two or three week. The only raccomandation is to stay
quite closed at home (as a common fever) , antipiretic teraphy and  not to
take knock over the splenic place, from the danger of splenic fracture (the
only danger of this case).
