Dear Doctor, an 8 year old girl has been suffering from fever, and her blood report shows a haemoglobin level of 10.1, a total leukocyte count of 3700, and a C reactive protein level of 22 mg per dL. I am concerned about these results and would like to know if this situation is an emergency.

A raised CRP suggests infection, and low TLC can occur in viral fevers. It is not necessarily an emergency, but please consult a paediatrician soon for examination and treatment.

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test or Take a C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) - QUANTITATIVE Test
