Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does Night Fever With Shivering And Blood Test (leukocyte - 19500, Neutrophil - 88) Indicate?
my friend has been suffering from fever for 15 days...tests for typhoid n malaria negative...fever occurs at night with shivering...almost normal during daytime...blood tests show 19500 leukocyte count and neutrophil count at 88...what should be done...doctors at a loss
dear friend you certainly seem to be having an infection or in rare cases chronic myeloid leukemia. if nothing else a leukemoid reaction from an infection but your white cell count does reach the lower limits of CML range. you also need to rule out a lung infection or an UTI
please discuss these possibilities with your doctor and before a diagnosis is made please request for a peripheral smear to be examined by a haemato-pathologist to at least screen for CML
