A WBC count of 14,500 indicates the body is likely fighting an infection or inflammation. It could be due to a recent illness, such as cold, flu, or other bacterial infections. If you have symptoms like fever, fatigue, or localized pain, consult a doctor.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please clarify my report. Is my CBC report normal or not? Can you also clarify my thyroid test report? Is there any problem?

Sir my friend is 26 years old. His RT PCR report is negative but he has fever cold cough and loss of smell and taste. Today I got a CT chest scan done. Please check my report for any infection.
