Hi Doctor, My name is Faizan, and I have been suffering from recurring boil skin infections for the past month. I recently got my blood tests done at Infedis Diagnostic Center, and the findings are: WBC Count: 26,600 /cumm (high) Hemoglobin: 14.1 gm/dl (normal) Lymphocytes: 16 percent (low) Eosinophils: 40 percent (high) ESR: 18 mm/hour (high) Urine Test: Normal, no sugar detected Could you please guide me on what these results indicate and suggest the best type of doctor or specialist I should consult for proper treatment? Thanks and Regards, Faizan Shaikh

High WBC and eosinophils indicate infection plus allergic/parasitic cause. A dermatologist and physician should co-manage. Stool test and absolute eosinophil count required.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a AEC Test (Absolute Eosinophil Count) Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test

Question

I have attached my brother blood test report. I noticed that his eosinophil count is slightly higher than normal. Could you please explain what this means, and whether he needs any treatment or precautions?

Question

My blood report shows that I have eosinophilia, slightly higher than normal. I also have a cough (not dry), mainly in the morning and at night, especially in cold temperatures. What is the solution for this? Is it curable? Which doctor should I consult? Could there be any other underlying issue?

Question

I am a 29 year old male suffering from allergic rhinitis and asthma. Around three months ago, I developed severe breathlessness and underwent a chest X ray, blood test, and PFT test. The chest X ray was normal. My FEV1/FVC ratio was 81 percent, and my FEV1 was 71 percent. My blood report was also normal except for an elevated eosinophil count of 440. For the past 2.5 months, I have been using Seroflo 250/25 (4 puffs daily) and Rhine M nasal spray regularly. While I am no longer experiencing severe breathlessness, I still have some breathing discomfort, especially when lifting weights as low as 10 kg or when climbing stairs quickly. I would like to know whether I need a stronger medication or if there is an alternative treatment that might be more effective.
