I am 53 years old and have been experiencing fever (99 to 104F) for the past week. My recent blood report shows: WBC: 171,770 cells/cmm Hemoglobin: 9.1 g/dL RBC: 2.60 million/cmm Blasts: 60% I am also experiencing gum swelling and bleeding. Please advise what could be the reason for the increased WBC count, and which specialist should I consult for further evaluation.

This is serious and may suggest leukemia. Immediate consult with hematologist or oncologist is required.

I experience evening shivering, fever, headache, and body pain. My blood report taken on Friday was normal, with no positive results for malaria or typhoid. Still, the fever returns daily in the evening with shivering, and after taking Dolo 650, it calms down for 3 to 4 hours. I started Lumerex 80 mg yesterday. Please advise if hospital admission is required?

I recently received my blood test results, and I noticed that my eosinophil count is 8, whereas the normal reference range is 0 to 6. What could be the reason?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have taken a blood test. I have elevated RBC and iron binding capacity. Is this normal? This is causing anxiety to me.
