Question 1

I'm really concerned about my lymphocytes. They've jumped from 14 to 44 in just a month. I don't have any lumps or red patches, but I'm getting infections and bleeding easily. My vitamin D is super low too, just at 5. Should I be worried about these increasing lymphocyte levels? What's causing it?

Accepted Answer

_TB-PCR Test and Menstrual Blood Sample Collection_

The TB-PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test can detect the genetic material of the tuberculosis bacteria. While menstrual blood can be used for the test, it's not the only option.

_Alternative Sample Options:_

1. _Sputum_: A more common sample type for TB testing.
2. _Blood_: A venous blood sample can be used.
3. _Tissue or fluid_: From the affected area, if applicable.

_Menstrual Blood Sample Collection (if required):_

1. Use a sterile container provided by the laboratory or healthcare provider.
2. Collect the menstrual blood sample during the heaviest flow day.
3. Fill the container as instructed by the healthcare provider.
4. Label the container with your name, date, and time of collection.
5. Store the sample in a refrigerator (if instructed) and transport it to the laboratory as soon as possible.

It's essential to follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider or laboratory for sample collection and handling.

Question 2

I've just got my blood test results back, and my total leukocyte count is showing as 11,600 CellsCumm. Is this within the normal range, or should I be concerned about my white blood cell count being too high?

Accepted Answer

normal

Question 3

I'm really worried because my monocytes are still absent in my latest CBC results, just like last summer. The only weird thing in the test is that there's no monocytes. My report shows Neutrophils at 50, Lymphocytes at 49, Monocytes at 0, and Eosinophils at 1. Should I be concerned about monocytes being zero? It's making me quite anxious. What could this mean?

Accepted Answer

The normal values of monocyte count in the body can range from 0 - 10% of the total number of WBC in your body. Therefore, a monocyte count of 0 is still considered normal and is not a cause for concern.

I've been really concerned because for the past year, my platelet count has been stuck between 70 and 100, and my MPV is over 14. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on with my body and how I can get my platelet levels back to normal. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?
