Question 1

Dear Sir, I am S Anand. My lab report shows a Rheumatoid Factor of 15.37 IU per ml, HS CRP of 9.95, with a standard value of 3, and Lipoprotein level of 66.32, with a standard value of 30.0. I would like to know if these results indicate Rheumatoid Arthritis. Please suggest the appropriate course of medication. Thank you, Sir.

Question 2

My 7.5 year old son has been unwell for the past 15 days. He gets a fever every 6 to 8 hours. He is being treated with antibiotics, fever syrup, and multivitamins. We have done all the blood tests, and everything came back negative. What could be the reason for this persistent fever? What should we do next, as it has already been 15 days? We are worried because we do not know what is happening. Please advise.

Question 3

My 8 month old niece has had a persistent fever for the past 2 weeks. It normalizes when given antipyretics but recurs every 8 to 10 hours. She has a normal diet but sometimes skips meals. She has also vomited 2 to 3 times. A blood test report showed a high lymphocyte count of 58. She traveled about 400 km last week, although comfortably. Could this affect her condition? What could be the reason, and what do you suggest? Thank you in advance.

How dangerous is a high lymphocyte count in children?

A high lymphocyte in children can mean infections such as mononucleosis and pertussis.
