Question 1

Hello Doctor, Can I get my son blood test done? Last week he had a fever with chikungunya like symptoms, and now he is weak. Since last evening, he has developed rashes on his face but no fever.

Question 2

My sister, on 5 March, had a fever of 99 to 100 degrees F along with swelling in her ankles, pain in her right eye/head (pulsating type), and dizziness. The doctor advised various tests. Her blood test report showed Salmonella Typhi O 1:160 and Salmonella Typhi H 1:320. Urine test showed 8 to 10 pus cells, 15 to 20 epithelial cells, and bacteria present. She was prescribed treatment for typhoid.
On 18 March, Widal test was negative, but she experienced a burning sensation during urination. A urine culture was done, and after consulting a gynecologist, Doxycycline and Urispaz were prescribed. In subsequent days, she developed fever and weakness, followed by small reddish rashes on her legs.
On 29 March, a Widal test showed Sal. Typhi O 1:80 and H 1:160. She was then given Mikacin and Magnazone via IV for 5 days, but Mikacin was stopped midway. On 10 April, she experienced severe weakness, dizziness, joint pain, and her Widal test showed 1:160 and 1:320 for O and H.

Question 3

Having temperature 102 with joint pain and back pain for 4 days though taken medicines. Request for suggestions whether it could cause any disease? Attaching blood test report.

I was having low grade fever and body ache. The doctor advised me to get a dengue test. My report shows IgM and IgG non reactive, but NS1 is reactive. What does this mean?

NS1 positive confirms dengue in the early phase (first 5 days). You should rest, stay well hydrated, and monitor platelet count. Avoid painkillers like ibuprofen. If you develop bleeding, dizziness, or worsening symptoms, seek urgent medical care.
