Unlike red blood cells, white blood cells do not divide or undergo mitosis.

Take a LDH Test (Lactate Dehydrogenase) Test or Take a Anti Nuclear Antibody / Factor (ANA / ANF), IFA (HEP-2) End Point Titre Test

Hello, I have attached my blood report. I need help from someone who can go through the report and explain my health situation and areas of improvement. How can I do this? Thanks.

I tested positive for COVID 19 and received my report on the 24th. Since then, I have been taking my medications regularly. However, I am still experiencing weakness and occasional fever. I do not have any issues with appetite or meals, I am eating normally. My case has been classified as mild. I am 30 years old and weigh 57 kg. Do I need to go for any further tests, or is this normal during recovery from mild COVID?
