Suggest Treatment For Low White Blood Cell Count
my husband has had low white blood cell count, low platelet count, and high monocytes, which was diagnosed August 2, 2010, which accompanied by a 104 fever. The fever went away after 5 days and a round of antibiotics but the blood levels have not returned to normal. Our family physician just keeps repeating blood work saying "we'll just keep watching it." My husband also suffers from fatigue. Should we be seeking another opinion and if so from what type of physician?

Hi,
Sorry to hear about that. Since the problems have persisted for more than 4 years, you need to undergo a through evaluation including CT scan of chest and abdomen, complete hemogram,Serum LDH and other blood tests and bone marrow study under the guidance of a hematologist. All the best.
