A high white blood cell count does not have any symptom so you can have it without fever.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a ABSOLUTE NEUTROPHIL COUNT (ANC) Test or Take a DCP-DECARBOXY PROTHROMBIN PIVKA-II Test

I have had neck muscle and some joint pain for the past four months, followed by headache and fatigue all day. I got a CBC done, which showed high atypical lymphocytes, and then I had a peripheral blood smear done. Are these reports normal?

Hi, I have had fever for 2 days and no appetite. My blood report shows typhoid. My body feels very weak and I also have cough.

I recently moved to a hilly region. For the past 4 days, I have developed large red rashes mostly on my limbs and some on my stomach. Initially red, some rashes developed pus, and after 2 days, some turned magenta, especially after wearing jeans all day. In my locality, there are many insects, including large mosquitoes. My blood test report shows: Hemoglobin: 14.7 Polymorphs (Poly): 72 Lymphocytes: 21 ESR: 10 Other parameters: Normal Please advise what might be causing these rashes and the next steps or treatment.
