Question 1

My 30 year old husband has a fever of 101F. His blood test shows a WBC count of 16,000, and he also has a cough.

Question 2

I was diagnosed with CML (chronic phase) in February and started Veenat 400 from March 6th, with my WBC counts remaining stable at around 5000 and my 6 month BCR ABL result being 0.953 percent. However, since July, I have been experiencing persistent mouth sores that have not improved with different remedies. My question is, what is the best way to manage this? Should I stop Veenat for a week and restart, switch to a second-generation drug, or temporarily move to a second generation drug and later return to the first generation one? My main concern is whether taking a break from Veenat will negatively affect my long term treatment goals and the possibility of achieving deep molecular remission at one year.

Question 3

Can someone please explain if WBC (TLC) count rises only in bacterial infections, or can it also increase in viral infections?

I want to know the reason for my high red blood cell count?

There can be multiple reasons for high blood cell count. Primarily due to low oxygen levels, certain medications and cancer
