Sir, my grandmother blood report shows a high number of WBCs, up to 17,000? She also has a fever all the time? Kindly suggest which specialist we should approach in this case? Thank you.

Persistent leukocytosis with fever suggests bacterial infection or possibly hematological malignancy. Please consult a Hematologist and take Blood Culture, CBC with Peripheral Smear.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a PERIPHERAL SMEAR Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

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.
