Hi doctor, I am 9 weeks pregnant. Two days back, I got some sort of a stomach bug or food poisoning. I woke up with nausea, chills, diarrhea and vomiting. But, there was no fever. Since I could not keep fluids down, I went to the emergency room to avoid dehydration. I got two IVs and Zofran. I felt better after some hours. Upon discharge, the doctor mentioned that I had an elevated white blood cell count when I first came. The next day I felt completely normal as I do until today. I followed up with my obstetrician as instructed and she noticed the WBC count and said that it was concerning. She made me to repeat it. I am much worried and awaiting for the results is a torture. Now I am going out of my mind thinking whether I have leukemia, lymphoma or some other. Moreover, when I went through the results I noticed neutrophil count is high and lymphocyte count is low. Could a stomach bug, it did seem a lot like it, cause such an elevation? Can you review my blood work results to see if there is anything that would indicate something more sinister than an infection?
