My friend was diagnosed with dengue on 27th May and has since been undergoing treatment. At this point, he no longer has a fever or any major symptoms. However, his platelet count remains low, and he has developed rough, dry skin around his nose and ears. We have attached his most recent blood report for your review. Could you kindly check the report and guide us.

While your friend is clinically better, post dengue platelet recovery can take time. The dry skin around the nose and ears may be a temporary effect of illness or medication. I recommend a follow up CBC to monitor trends and ensure platelets are rising. Hydration and nutrition are also key.

My recent blood report shows hemoglobin of 10.1 g/dL, ESR of 15 mm/hr, PCV of 32.6 percent, Salmonella Typhi O at 1:80, Salmonella Typhi H at 1:80, and CRP at 16.3 IU/mL. I have been experiencing watery diarrhea and high fever for the past three days. Additionally, I underwent hip surgery with screws a month ago. Could this be stomach flu, or should I be concerned about typhoid or another infection?

I am 50 years old and have entered menopause. My recent blood test results show a random blood sugar of 114 mg/dL, ESR of 41 mm/hr, creatinine of 0.6 mg/dL, absolute eosinophil count of 518, and uric acid of 5.7 mg/dL. I would like to know if these values are normal, and whether my creatinine level is considered normal or low. Please advise.

Is a lymphocyte count of 1.8 per k/cu mm normal or is that low?
