A WBC count of 23,000 indicates a possible bacterial infection or inflammation. Since you also have fever and body pain, this may need antibiotic treatment after proper evaluation. Please consult a doctor urgently for further diagnosis and to rule out any serious infections.

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

I am experiencing stomach pain and severe pain just below my chest. All my reports are normal except the blood report, which showed a blood infection with a count of about 22,000 and enthesitis with a value of 65, causing itching on my entire legs.

What does a low MPV blood test result mean?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am experiencing skin rashes and whiteheads at various places on my body, accompanied by itching. I have tried the shampoo recommended by a dermatologist, but it has not helped. I am concerned this might be related to thyroid issues. Please advise what could be causing this and what tests or treatment I should consider.
