Hi, I have had a fever for the last two days and am now experiencing significant weakness. My COVID test is negative, but my CRP is 24.6. I had COVID about five months ago. My CBC, D dimer, and other tests are normal. Could this be just a regular flu, or should I be concerned about something else?

ESR may indicate inflammation or infection. If COVID and other tests are normal, this could be viral flu. Stay hydrated, rest well, and follow up with your doctor if symptoms persist. CBC, CRP and ESR is advised.

In my blood report, ESR level is found to be 35 mm per hour. Can you tell me what this means? I want details of this report.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

For the past three months, I have been experiencing occasional chills, fever, breathing difficulties, and body pain. During this time, I underwent multiple tests, including blood and urine tests, viral markers, HIV, Widal test, urine routine, CS for MP, HGM, ESR, PFT, HCV, thyroid, and malaria screening. All of which came back normal except for my ESR, which was elevated at 28 mm per hr (normal range 15 to 20 mm per hr). I would appreciate your advice on what this elevated ESR might indicate and whether any further tests are necessary. I have attached the test reports for your reference.
