Dear doctor, recently I fell sick and had fever and body pain. In fact, all my family members fell sick. My mother was diagnosed as dengue and typhoid positive. My daughters completely recovered. Their blood test results were negative for dengue, malaria, and typhoid. I was the last one to get sick. My test results for typhoid and malaria turned negative. On 02 Dec, Dengue IgM was negative (1.39 units) and IgG was equivocal (20.06 units) with platelets 1.40 lakhs/cmm. On 04 Dec, I again took a retest without my doctor knowledge. The results this time were: Dengue IgM 3.20 units (negative), IgG 52.46 units (positive), platelets 1.38 lakhs/cmm. Is there anything to be worried about, doctor? I would be glad if someone can explain why the IgG values have doubled? Thanks.

A rising Dengue IgG value with a negative IgM indicates past exposure or recent recovery from Dengue, not a new infection. IgG can remain high or increase during recovery and is not a cause for worry if you are clinically improving. Your platelets are slightly low but stable, which is common after viral illnesses. Stay hydrated, eat well, and monitor for any bleeding or worsening symptoms. You can book a CBC test after 1 to 2 weeks to monitor platelets and ensure recovery.

View allHello Doctor, I have attached my report for your review. I am 33 years old, and the doctor has mentioned surgery as a possible treatment option, including the removal of my uterus and ovaries. If my uterus and ovaries are removed, will there be any long term health issues? Will it affect my life expectancy?

I want to understand how to interpret the results of my CBC and metabolic panel. Some values came back abnormal, and I am unsure if they are concerning. My results are: Neutrophils: 84.6 percent (normal range 42.2 to 75.2) Lymphocytes: 8.6 percent (20.5 to 51.5) Eosinophils: 0.3 percent (0.7 to 7.8) Calcium: 10.3 mg/dL (8.4 to 10.2) Alkaline phosphatase: 121 (40 to 120) For reference, I have hypothyroidism and hirsutism. I am taking levothyroxine and spironolactone, and recently stopped hydrochlorothiazide.

My blood report shows that my lymphocyte percentage is 59 and my absolute lymphocyte number is 3500 per microlitre. Is this dangerous? What is the alarming level of absolute lymphocyte count?
