I'm a bit worried about my blood test results. It shows my WBC at 4600, RBC at 4.25, and something about platelets. What does that mean? Should I be concerned about these numbers?

E. histolytica infection can cause unpleasant symptoms. Interpretation of Stool Test Results - Cysts of E. histolytica: The presence of cysts indicates an E. histolytica infection, which can cause amoebiasis. - Mucous discharge during stool passage: This symptom is consistent with an E. histolytica infection, which can cause intestinal inflammation and mucous production. Chronic vs. Acute Infection - Chronic infection: If you've been experiencing symptoms for an extended period (weeks or months), it could indicate a chronic infection. - Acute infection: If symptoms are recent (days or weeks), it might be an acute infection. Treatment Options - Metronidazole: This antibiotic is commonly used to treat E. histolytica infections. - Paromomycin: This antibiotic can be used to treat asymptomatic carriers or to complete treatment after metronidazole. - Diloxanide furoate: This medication can be used to treat asymptomatic carriers or mild intestinal infections. Next Steps 1. Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a gastroenterologist to discuss your test results and symptoms. 2. Complete treatment: Follow your doctor's recommended treatment plan to ensure you're properly treated. 3. Follow-up testing: Your doctor may recommend follow-up stool tests to ensure the infection has cleared.

Question

I've been dealing with dengue and was in the hospital about 10 days ago. My platelet count was really low, around 68,000, but by the time I was discharged, it had gone up to 1.2 lakh. Since then, I've been on medication and doing regular CBC checks. The numbers have been climbing quite a bit: 2.5 lakh at the first check, 4.28 lakh at the second, and today it's at 5.1 lakh. Is it okay for my platelets to be this high, or should I be worried about it?

Question

I'm seeing terms like "blast," "abn lympo," and "NRBC" in my CBC report, and I'm a bit worried about what they mean. I'm also experiencing body pain but no fever. What do these results indicate? I've attached my blood test report for reference. Can you help me understand if there's anything serious going on?

Question

So, I'm dealing with this low platelet count situation. I've already tried medication and even got saline, but my platelet levels are still low. My family doctor thinks I should see a hematologist. What could be the reason my platelet count isnt improving? What can I expect from a hematologist visit, and are there other treatments I should be considering?
