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.

A high lymphocyte count usually points to a viral infection, which is common in children. Since the fever persists for two weeks, further evaluation is needed to rule out other causes. Consult a pediatrician soon.

I consulted doctors, and based on laboratory investigation, my WBC count was found to be lower than the reference range, i.e., 3100.

As per my blood report, my lymphocyte count is low (18), and my monocyte count is high (10.4). What does this mean?

Hi Sir, I want to know how long it takes for HIV antibodies to develop. I got tested 2 years ago, and the result was negative, but some doctors say it can take up to 10 years. I am experiencing symptoms like swollen lymph nodes, oral thrush, tiredness, kapha, and nail line changes. Based on my report, is it conclusive, or should I take a retest?
