I'm really worried about my wife. She's been having a fever every week and then we just saw in her blood report that her hemoglobin is pretty low, like 7.7. Could you help me understand what's going on with her?

Recurrent fever and low hemoglobin (7.7%) in your wife's blood report suggest an underlying condition that requires medical attention; possible causes include iron deficiency anemia, chronic infections, autoimmune disorders, or malignancies; consult a general physician to conduct further investigations, such as iron studies, vitamin B12 and folate levels, and imaging tests, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
