I'm a bit worried about my blood test results. It shows my WBC at 4600, RBC at 4.25, and something about platelets. What does that mean? Should I be concerned about these numbers?

E. histolytica infection can cause unpleasant symptoms.
Interpretation of Stool Test Results
- Cysts of E. histolytica: The presence of cysts indicates an E. histolytica infection, which can cause amoebiasis.
- Mucous discharge during stool passage: This symptom is consistent with an E. histolytica infection, which can cause intestinal inflammation and mucous production.
Chronic vs. Acute Infection
- Chronic infection: If you've been experiencing symptoms for an extended period (weeks or months), it could indicate a chronic infection.
- Acute infection: If symptoms are recent (days or weeks), it might be an acute infection.
Treatment Options
- Metronidazole: This antibiotic is commonly used to treat E. histolytica infections.
- Paromomycin: This antibiotic can be used to treat asymptomatic carriers or to complete treatment after metronidazole.
- Diloxanide furoate: This medication can be used to treat asymptomatic carriers or mild intestinal infections.
Next Steps
- Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a gastroenterologist to discuss your test results and symptoms.
- Complete treatment: Follow your doctor's recommended treatment plan to ensure you're properly treated.
- Follow-up testing: Your doctor may recommend follow-up stool tests to ensure the infection has cleared.

I'm a bit concerned because my platelet count is at 1.24cumm, which I believe is lower than the normal 1.50cumm range, but then I see my total platelet count shows 1.51cumm. I've also noticed some rashes appearing on my palms. Could you advise me on how I could increase my platelet count and if there's any medication I should consider?

There are two main types of surgery: *Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy* and *Open Cholecystectomy* . - *Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy*: This is a minimally invasive procedure where a surgeon uses a laparoscope to remove the gallbladder.
