Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

MCH quantifies the amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell. The normal values for MCH are 29 +- 2 picograms (pg) per cell. MCHC indicates the amount of hemoglobin per unit volume

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a Ana By Immunoblot Test or Take a Hla B-27(Flow Cytometry) Test

After completing treatment for malaria with Doxycycline and Artesunate, my fever still has not gone away. My temperature ranges between 99 to 102. All my blood reports are normal except for the Widal test, as you can see in the report. I also took Ofloxacin for 10 days, but the fever persists. In addition, my digestion is becoming weak. Could this be something else?
