Hi, I was diagnosed with malaria 14 days ago and 2 days before, malaria was not detected in my blood report. I was discharged from the hospital. I am 68 years old. But even after discharge, I am still getting fever of 101 to 102 degrees C. Also, fever is observed only on the head, whereas the body is cold. Please suggest. Your opinion would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Post malaria fever persisting after parasite clearance may be due to post viral syndrome or secondary infection. Since its localized to the head with chills, get a CBC, ESR, Malaria antigen repeat, and possibly Dengue/CRP test. Also consider brain imaging (CT/MRI) if neuro symptoms.
Dr. Kamran Suggests...
Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Malarial Test Test

View allI am 23 years old. During a regular checkup, my blood test showed a comment of relative lymphocytosis. I had dengue about 2 months ago. Fifteen days back, I experienced continuous headache for 3 days, which then resolved. I often get numbness or cramp like sensations in both hands and sometimes feel pain in my armpits. I have not had any headaches for the past 15 days, but I am very worried about the lymphocytosis comment in my lab report. I have attached the report and would greatly appreciate your guidance.

Today I received my complete blood report, which shows: Lymphocytes: 25% (low) WBC count: 9,600 Platelet count: 2.1 lakh For the past three days, I have had inflammation on the chest and armpit. I consulted a general physician, who suggested it might be a gastric problem. I am worried about HIV, as I had protected sex with an unknown partner one week ago. Could this be HIV? I do not have fever or other symptoms. Please advise on what steps I should take.
