My name is nancy w I am 70 years old and have many medical conditions including Common Variable Immuni-deficiency. I am courrently having a fever ranging form 99.5 to 100.4 and have this fever for 12 days or so. My white count was 16,000 last week on CBC. Dr has me on 2 antibiotics
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should not worry about cancer. As blood cancer show count in lakhs usually more than 1 lakh. And you are having clear-cut infection in lung and urine. This is the reason for your fever and 16000 count. You may have chronic resistant infection in lung and urine which is not sensitive to routine antibiotics.  So get done urine culture and sputum culture with sensitivity to guide antibiotic therapy. So no need to worry about leukemia or any other cancer. Be relax and calm. Treat infections and you will be alright.
