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 allI recently received my blood test report, and the MCHC level, which is 35.1 g per dL. Could you please explain what this means? Is this value considered normal or high?

Hi madam, my son Virat regularly has cold and other related problems like itchy nose, rubbing eyes, and itching in fold areas such as under the neck, under the penis, behind the knees, and itchy scalp, especially when oil is applied. I have been using homeopathy medicines from Homeo Mall near my home, but there is no result. Recently, I visited Rainbow Hospital and they have given a few medications. If I do not give them even for one day, the itching increases. I have consulted many allopathic doctors, but there is no result. I have his blood test report from 9 months back, which shows eosinophils count is high.
