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 allMy son had a fever (100F) which subsided in 2 to 3 days. After 4 days, he developed red rashes all over his body. On the doctor advice, we got a CBC test along with IgM and IgG tests, IgM was positive. Within 3 days, the rashes disappeared. The CBC report showed some variations (low PCV, MCV, neutrophils), though platelets were near normal. The doctor advised hydration and close monitoring, mentioning it is a mild infection that can become severe. He has been active and playing normally. After 2 days, repeat CBC showed hemoglobin and PCV were increasing. After another 3 days, hemoglobin was higher, PCV remained high, and IgM was still positive. We are worried about these rising trends, though he remains active. Should we hospitalize him or continue care at home?
