A WBC count of 23,000 indicates a possible bacterial infection or inflammation. Since you also have fever and body pain, this may need antibiotic treatment after proper evaluation. Please consult a doctor urgently for further diagnosis and to rule out any serious infections.

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

I am 34 weeks pregnant. I have attached my USG report. Could you please help me understand the report. I noticed that the FL (femur length) measurement is lower compared to other parameters, and I am not sure what that means. Is my baby okay?

What does a red blood cells diagram indicate?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?
