Hi. My 80 year old mother has had an extremely high white blood count for about 3 years.She has lost so much weight and looks anorexic. They have run tests and she shows no signs of lukemia or any other cancers. About once every 2 or 3 months she gets severe flu like symptoms and then breaks out in hives all over for about a day. Everyone is at a loss.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, It would have been more informative if you had posted the complete hologram report. A high white blood cell count along with loss of weight is suggestive of leukemia however, you have mentioned that the blood reports are not showing up leukemia. Increased frequency of flu like symptoms and break out in hives suggests some viral infection.However, it is difficult to diagnose the condition on the basis of history alone. A clinical examination of the hives (skin lesion) and their histopathological examination is required. You need to consult a dermatologist at the first hand to know the nature of skin lesions. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
