My dad had cancer 2 years ago surgery was performed and no chemo or radiation necessaryhe is 79 yrs old and recently ran a high fever with a high white blood cell count his fever was 103 his doctor sent him to the hospital who performed several tests and everything is negativewhat are some causes of this
Looking at the history and findings, it appears that your father must have had infection causing fever. Any malignancy causes immune compromised state, which makes am individual prone for infections. Also, as the age increases immunity comes down. Since his tests are negative, there is no need for concern. You can discuss with the consulting doctor regarding differential count to know the nature of infection and manage accordingly. Regards
