Looks pretty good to me!

'Basos' is short for Basophils, another white blood cell that make up a small proportion of your white blood cell total and so may not always be reported if there aren't enough to be counted. They are responsible for the tissue portion of allergic reactions according to Dr Susan Leclair.

Atypical lymphocytes are large lymphocytes that can be seen in some illnesses. Reactive lymphs are lymphocytes that have become large as a result of antigen stimulation. Considering only a few have been found and presuming you are feeling well, I wouldn't be concerned.
