Can blood tests detect a bacterial infection?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My son had a severe allergic reaction due to a medicine he took for sudden pain in his leg joints. The reaction appears as red dots all over his legs, which are also painful at times. It looks similar to severe mosquito bites, and there are no purple dots. The doctor indicated a possibility of vasculitis, but the blood report stated otherwise. His rheumatoid factor is 8.5.
