Persistent leukocytosis with fever suggests bacterial infection or possibly hematological malignancy. Please consult a Hematologist and take Blood Culture, CBC with Peripheral Smear.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a PERIPHERAL SMEAR Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

Hello, I have deficiencies in both vitamin D and B12. When I take supplements, my levels improve, but if I stop the medicine even for a month, the levels drop again. Why does this happen, and what can I do to maintain normal vitamin levels?
