Good Morning. I am calling from Baghdad, Iraq. Actually a known local Iraqi s young child of abt 5 years is suffering from loss red corposules in blood for the last one year or so. He is a very poor man and he is keen on getting his child treated at India. The child s blood count is quite low. They have not done bone marrow test because of the child s tender age. pls do advise pls.
Hi, welcome to this forum. Decrease in red blood cells in a 5-year-old child can be due to nutritional anemia, hemolytic anemia, bone marrow suppression. You should do blood test like complete blood count with peripheral smear, bone marrow examination, hemoglobin electrophoresis. Bone marrow examination is mandatory and should be done at this age. The treatment of child will depend upon the above reports. You should immediately go for about tests. I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
