I am 53 years old and have been experiencing fever (99 to 104F) for the past week. My recent blood report shows: WBC: 171,770 cells/cmm Hemoglobin: 9.1 g/dL RBC: 2.60 million/cmm Blasts: 60% I am also experiencing gum swelling and bleeding. Please advise what could be the reason for the increased WBC count, and which specialist should I consult for further evaluation.

This is serious and may suggest leukemia. Immediate consult with hematologist or oncologist is required.

I have been experiencing fever for the past 4 days, with temperatures ranging from 99F to 102F. I do not have any other major symptoms, just the fever. I am sharing my lab report for your review.

Hi Doctor, earlier the doctor mentioned that he has heart problems and prescribed medicines. Later, we were told it was thyroid related, and now the doctor is saying it is a liver infection. We feel we are not getting a clear solution or proper guidance. Please advise us on what should be done next.

A 4 year old boy has 10 sores on his lips and cheeks with fever for the past 5 days. I am sending the blood report. Please check and give advice? Medicines from the local doctor have not helped in curing the condition.
