Question

I'm really concerned about my cousin. He had typhoid last year, and ever since, his platelet count has been dropping randomly, sometimes getting as low as 60k. It's weird because he doesn't have a fever or feel any other symptoms. We're all pretty worried about what's causing this fluctuation in his platelets. Do you have any idea what might be going on, and what we should do next?

Question

I'm a bit worried about my fianc's haemoglobin levels. Just last month, it was at 16.5, and now it has jumped to 17.5. He found out when he tried to donate blood, and they suggested he see a doctor about why his haemoglobin might be increasing. Can you help us understand why this might be happening and how we can get it back to normal levels?

Question

I'm trying to understand my blood test results and I'm a bit confused about some of the terms. It mentions that my RBC is normocytic normochromic with mild anisopoikilocytosis and that my WBC has a lymphocytic predominance with mild eosinophilia. The report also says that my platelets are adequate on the smear. Could you help explain what this all means? I'm feeling a bit worried about these findings.
