Blood Analysis Question

[Baum]

elevated BASO  2 %, elevated BASABS  0.11 GPt\L. everything else is dandy.

what could it mean? no allergies known. organs fine.

[undeather]

If everything else is dandy and you dont experience any symptoms at all, this is a normal finding.
Slight aberrations from the norm are completely physiological. Forget about it.

What if i had some chronic infection, would that be reflected here?

The diagnostic reference levels are calculated averages and not precise limits of normality. Your body is in a dynamic interplay with your environment, each parameter in your blood changes from one minute to another. Also, the methods of measurement & analysis are far from perfect. 

There is a saying in medicine which goes like:"You are either sick or not screened enough" 
Said differently, if we would run every diagnostic test imaginable, you would get a "positive" result in some of them, without actually being sick in any way or form. 

So no, I highly doubt you have a chronic infection - which usually would be reflected in more than your basophiles (which are ALMOST normal to begin with). 
If you still are uncertain abou it, repeat the test in 6 months.

But anyway, i was just asking in general for possible meanings, not going paranoid.

and that is why you should never google what elevation of single marker means because eventually, you'll either reach a point where you've either diagnosed yourself with cancer or other terminal illness. Elevation of single marker does not usually mean anything
