Hi, I am 35 years old and attaching my report for review. Could you please let me know if there is anything to be concerned about? I noticed that my Red Cell Distribution Width is slightly above the normal range and wanted to understand if this is something to worry about.

Slightly raised RDW may indicate early anemia or vitamin deficiency. Not serious if other counts are fine. Check iron, B12, and folate to confirm.

Hi, my husband is 39 years old. He has had viral fever with cold and cough for the past 3 days. He took medication and the fever has now reduced. His blood reports are normal, no malaria or typhoid. Yesterday his platelet count was 1.51 and WBC was 7,200. He was given papaya leaf tablets and papaya. Today, his platelet count increased to 1.67, but his WBC decreased to 5,800. Is it normal for WBC to drop like this during viral fever?

Hi Doctor. I have had a fever for the last three days, especially at night, with a temperature of 102 degrees F, chills, and headache. My lab report shows neutrophils 80 percent, lymphocytes 16 percent, and WBC indicates neutrophilia. Widal test is 1:160 for both TH and TO. COVID test is negative. The doctor prescribed Paracetamol and Cefamid 200, but there has been no improvement.
