Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter Maryam was diagnoised for typhoid in the month of June. In the test report, Total WBC count reported was 11000 cells/cumm and platelet count 3.61 lakhs/mm3. She got cured. From last 20 days she is again having high fever. Fever decreases on the usage of parcetomol. Today we had he test again. Now in the report total WBC count is 2900 cell/cumm and platelet count s 1.35 lakhs/mm3.
Based on the history and the result of lab tests your daughter seems to have relapsed (re-infected) typhoid fever.
An attack of typhoid fever does not provide long lasting immunity from a future episode so there is a likelihood of re-infection on further exposure to infection. Advised to consult her doctor for further treatment.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
