Question 1

I have been suffering from Chikungunya for the past 2 weeks. During this period, I experienced upper thigh and knee joint pain for 2 days, which is now under control with medication. My blood report shows increased WBC, and my doctor mentioned a possible viral and bacterial infection. I have also been having loose motions (liquid stools) for the past 3 days and a fever above 102F for several days. My medical history includes urinary tract infections, and my kidneys are shrunk.

Question 2

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?

Question 3

In my wife peripheral smear report, it is mentioned that a few activated lymphocytes are seen. Could you please help me understand what this means? Her CBC parameters are normal, and her urine report is also normal.

My blood report shows ESR 48 and Hb 11. I am experiencing continuous body pain. My weight has suddenly decreased to 46 kg, and my age is 27 years.

Raised ESR and low Hb with weight loss could suggest chronic inflammation. Needs evaluation. Consult a physician for further tests.
