My brother has a low WBC, seizures, lethargy, worst headache ever, fever, chills, hit head during seizure and now has a red line traveling up his arm where there had earlier been a IV. The doctors where he s at just gave him tylenol and ativan and sent him home. I m worried about bacteremia and or meningitis. ..
Hi low WBC count can be due to multiple reasons It can be due to bone marrow infiltration, plastic anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency, splenic sequestration, some infections like HIV and typhoid and so on. A better evaluation can be suggested only when I can have an look at the complete blood report. Seizures and fever and headache are indicative of brain lesion or meningitis as you suspect and need CSF studies and radio imaging of head and brain hope this help swish you all the Bethany you for choosing Chat Doctor
