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 was diagnosed with typhoid and recovered a month ago. Now I get a fever every second day. After taking medicine, the fever goes away but returns after a day or two. I remain normal when there is no fever but feel weak. My blood test report shows RBC 3.9, Monocyte 2.0, WBC 13,100, and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate 34. Please suggest?

My report states evidence of a well defined anterior wall defect of approximately 20 mm seen at supra umbilical region with herniation of bowel loops. Is this dangerous? As I am having fever for a few days now and stomach discomfort too. Should I go for surgery? Is it safe?
