My mother aged 58-year-old is suffering from fever for the last 12 days. First the fever was high-grade with intense shivering and later after a course of antibiotic the fever is still continuing but is low grade. The blood test showed negative malaria as well as typhoid symptoms but some alarming results were as this Hb-8.8, Lymphocytes-9 ten days back and now 15, ESR-40 then and now 50, platelet count now 198 and then it was 165. But the Hb has decreased to 7.1. Kindly analyze.
Hi your he is definitely low. And ESR is high. Your lymphocytes counts are low suggest it may be high neutrophil count. These may be seen in inflammation or infection in some part. Your platelets count is normal no need to worry regarding that. High ESR may be seen in inflammation, anemia, autoimmune disease, malignancy, paraproteinemia etc. anything can be there which causing high ESR and low he. search for the cause and then take treatment accordingly. You will definitely get benefits.thanks for using Chat Doctor.
