My sister has been experiencing fever on and off for the past 5 days. She has no other symptoms besides the intermittent fever. I am attaching her blood report. Could you please help me understand what might be causing this?

Could be viral or early infection. If fever persists beyond 7 days, further tests like dengue, typhoid, or COVID may be needed.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a WIDAL TEST (TUBE METHOD) Test or Take a Dengue NS1 Antigen - Elisa Test

Which tests should I do for chest pain and shortness of breath? Is a blood test required? Is a chest X ray required? Please suggest.

Hi Doctor. I have had a fever for the last three days, especially at night, with a temperature of 102 degrees F, chills, and headache. My lab report shows neutrophils 80 percent, lymphocytes 16 percent, and WBC indicates neutrophilia. Widal test is 1:160 for both TH and TO. COVID test is negative. The doctor prescribed Paracetamol and Cefamid 200, but there has been no improvement.

I have lab results of WBC 12.4, platelets 470, MPV 7.1, lymphocytes 3.5. Is this a cause of concern? Please note I also have allergies and I did have a flu shot right before having the blood work done.
