Dear XXXX

Greetings from health care magic!!! I am Dr Thakker and shall be answering your question.

I would put forth the following possible causes for your fever:

1) Viral hemorrhagic fever ( Ebola/Margburg/Norwalk/Dengue/West nile virus etc)

2) Arboviral infection

3) Renal stone with UTI

4) Hemolytic uremic syndrome.

I would recommend you to have the following blood tests done: Complete blood count, bleeding and clotting time, PT/INR, peripheral smear, blood culture, urine routine and microscopy, ultrasound KUB.

I would recommend you to get admitted to a hospital for inpatient treatment given you have hematuria.

I hope this helps you out. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to write back to me.

Yours sincerely,
Dr Thakker.

you seem to have separated the fever from the Hematuria, Is the humaturia not connected to the causes you gave me?

Dear XXXX

It seems you did not get me right. Haematuria is a haemorrhagic manifestation which is very much a part of the viral fevers that I have mentioned above.

We also need to include renal causes of haematuria which include renal stones, haemolytic uremic syndrome.

I hope things are now clear to you.

Dr Thakker.
