Brief Answer:
Infection in the body

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I have gone through your blood report.

Your Leukocytopenia is due to some infection in your body.

Since there is no atypical cells present in complete blood count test there is no chance of malignancy.

Your wbc count is slightly lower than the lower normal limit and there is nothing to worry.

Normocytic normochromic rbc blood picture indicate you are having slight anaemia which should be alright after taking honey .

I will advise you to make a concoction of a tablespoon of honey, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar. Eat this daily and your rbc will come back to normal.

I will also start tablet levofloxacin 500 mg once daily after food for 5 days. Please discuss with yoru doctor and start it. After the completion of the course your wbc count will come back to normal within 2 weeks.

Thanks for your response. I have a few more queries..
1. I understand currently there are no atypical cells, but is there chance of them occurring sometime later in a few months or years? Hence is there possibility of malignancy and cancerous growth?
2. In case there are chances of cancer in future, what should be the steps to prevent the same? Can this be avoided by dietary habits or are preventive medicines the only way? If so, can you pls suggest some?

Thanks again for your support.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Your differential count of wbc suggest you are having normal neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils and basophils and there is no chance of developing cancer in the future.

Your wbc count is minorly low and it should comeback to normal after 5 days of antibiotic treatment.There are no atypical cells present and there is no possibility of cancerous growth.

I would advise to eat grapefruit, peanuts, berries, sweet potatoes, turmeric and green tea to prevent future chance of cancer.

If you have no more clarifications then please rate the answer and close the thread.

Wishing you good health.
