Here's a quick summary from my training knowledge while I search the medical library:
CBC patterns in brief:
  • Enteric fever: leukopenia, relative lymphocytosis, thrombocytopenia, anemia
  • Dengue: leukopenia, thrombocytopenia (hallmark), rising hematocrit
  • Leptospirosis: leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, anemia
  • Rickettsial fever: leukopenia/normal, thrombocytopenia
  • Brucellosis: pancytopenia, leukopenia

Why is eosinophilia, relative lymphocytosis, leukopenia... Seen in enteric fever. And pathophysiology of Salmonella infection.

Great question! Here's what I know from training, then I'll pull the textbook sources.
Quick answer:
  • Leukopenia: Salmonella suppresses bone marrow + causes neutrophil margination/destruction
  • Relative lymphocytosis: neutrophils drop, so lymphocyte % rises relatively
  • Eosinopenia (not eosinophilia) is actually classic in acute enteric fever - eosinophils are suppressed by cortisol stress response
