What Does My Blood Test Report Indicate?
Question: my 2 year old has WBC count of 3.8 and ESR is 16..hematocrit low platelet count low monocyte high and creatinine low what could this mean..the blood test was given for no appetite and not gaining any weight for 6 months.no other symptoms except cough when shes sleeping and sweating.
Brief Answer:
She may have viral infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
She has low wbc count and low platelet count with high monocyte count. All features are commonly seen in viral infection. Appetite loss is also seen in viral infection. So she has high chance of viral infection. She is not gaining weight so she may have some other associated illness.
She may have malnutrition or other chronic disease.
Please send me her complete blood count report and all other reports what you have, so that I can help you further.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
