My report shows that LUC is high. I heard this might be related to an infection, possibly even HIV. Could you please advise?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
LUC (large unstained cells) are atypical cells seen in infections, allergies, or inflammation, not specific for HIV. An elevated LUC often reflects a recent viral infection or immune response. Please repeat a Complete Blood Count with differential and consider a peripheral smear for clarity. If you have HIV risk factors, an HIV antibody/antigen test can provide definitive screening. Review all results with your doctor
Dr. Kamran Suggests...
Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a HIV DUO (ANTIGEN AND ANTIBODY) Test

View allI have been experiencing a dry cough (sukhi khansi) for the past 8 months. I have taken antibiotics and anti allergic medications several times, but there has been little improvement. My chest Xray and blood tests are normal. I work in the teaching profession. Could you please advise what might be causing this persistent cough and what steps I should take to treat it effectively?

My wife complains that she breathes heavily if she walks a few meters, runs, lifts heavy weight or does housework like floor cleaning. Her blood report shows haemoglobin 11.3 and blood sugar is normal. What steps should I take in this situation?
