Blood Infection
"You have a blood infection", has become an everyday phrase.
And it's very difficult to then explain to the patient that "circulating blood does not get infected". A river does not get infected, a pond does.
If there are pathogens in the blood (viruses - viremia, bacteria - bacteremia, fungi - fungemia, etc.), it doesn't mean that the blood is infected, it is performing its main duty: Transport. If a pathogen has entered the blood (has passed the protective limiting barriers), it needs to reach the target areas where it finds the necessary environment to stay, feed, and multiply, and there it causes the corresponding structural and functional damage.
If in the peripheral blood analysis, there is an increase in leukocytes, neutrophils, precursors of neutrophils (bands, metamyelocytes, etc.), an increase in erythrocyte sedimentation rate (often accompanied by fever, etc.), it doesn't mean you have a "blood infection".
The blood's duty is to transport:
- Erythrocytes and along with them hemoglobin and oxygen. For itself, the blood does not need erythrocytes, hemoglobin, or oxygen (erythrocytes secure the necessary energy through anaerobic glycolysis so as not to use up the oxygen for other cells).
- Leukocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, bands, monocytes, etc.). For itself, the blood does not need leukocytes at all, they are produced in the Red Bone Marrow (lymphocytes also outside of it) and through the peripheral blood they are transported where they need to perform their duties, which are always outside the blood vessel.
If a pathogen has reached the Basic Substance of the Connective Tissue, the first to arrive there should be neutrophils to eliminate it, and by performing their duty outside the blood vessel, these cells also die. To ensure a sufficient number of neutrophils enough for the elimination of the last pathogen (not a single pathogen should remain inside the body), the body uses reserves, increases production and when it cannot reach a sufficient number of mature cells (neutrophils), it releases their precursors, which are not fully effective (new soldiers), but can fight (bands, metamyelocytes).
If the pathogen reaches the blood, there is another "warrior" that eliminates it directly - the spleen with the largest Mononuclear Phagocyte System in the body. And if the Non-Specific defense does not eliminate it, the Specific defense will come (Lymphocytes) and only if all these protective links are overcome (or are damaged) and the pathogen is not eliminated, it will reach its target areas, settle, feed, multiply with the corresponding local and systemic damages. - Platelets are the only formed element of the blood that the blood needs for itself and thus for all other cells of the body. Their duty is to ensure the stability of the small blood vessels (capillaries) and even more so they are needed only when the vessel wall is damaged, with the aim of stopping hemorrhage, i.e., the loss of blood with the corresponding consequences.
- Of course, it transports hormones, lipids, amino acids, heat, etc. It also carries pathogens, tumor cells, etc.
Five plus two equals seven

Hello Adela,
It is certain that 5 + 2 = 7 and just as certain that there is no "blood infection". That's why I write so that people and doctors won't unnecessarily claim as is the custom "blood infection!!"

I want to ask about a boy, my brother, who is 19 years old, and doctors in Skopje have told him that his blood is infected. Initially, he had bumps on his head that sometimes itched. In Pristina, they irritated those bumps, but now in Skopje, they told him that the bumps are not coming out anymore; they have started to turn inward in his head. They did a biopsy there on Tuesday, he has an appointment. I would kindly ask you to advise me on what to use, based on your thoughts

Hello Mrs. Kadrije. First and foremost, we must emphasize that there is no infection in the blood. The blood never gets infected. However, microbes can be transported through the blood from one part of the body to another. If your son has infections in the lungs with "pus", you should speak with the lung doctor, or the surgeon

Hello. I have a concern regarding my niece. She lives in Germany. Ever since she was 1 year old, she has been experiencing high temperatures up to 40.1 degrees lasting several days. But doctors in Germany said it was a bacterial infection in the blood. But it seemed we cured it. Now, when she is 8 years old, the same problem with temperatures of 40 degrees lasting several days has returned. Again, a bacterial infection in the blood. Please, I want to know if this kind of disease can be cured or if it leads to more serious problems. I am very worried

Sent by Nevil Guza, më 13 February 2019 në 15:28
Hello Nevil, certainly these parameters are low (hypochromia, microcytosis, meaning they indicate red blood cells with smaller sizes and less hemoglobin). These values in themselves are not an obstacle for surgery. However, they need to be evaluated, what matters is the value of erythrocytes, hemoglobin, ferritin, platelets, white blood cells, PT, APTT, Fibrinogen. If it is anemia from iron deficiency, it needs to be treated not only for the surgery. Inherited anemias must also be ruled out

Hello,
My sister has a blood infection and is being treated with some medications according to the doctors' instructions, but she has been overweight since she was young. However, within 2 months, she has lost so much weight that it's hard for me to see her like this. I wanted to know if a blood infection can cause weight loss since we have done all the tests, and they have shown that she has a cold at a level of 400. We have done all the imaging, and they came out fine, but the doctors have said that she has an infection and a cold, and the treatment for this disease can last up to 6 months. She is taking some of the injections that are administered every 3 weeks, but she also has a problem where the tips of her fingers go pale and turn a yellowish color when in contact with water, cold things, and another issue is that she can't swallow food because she says it doesn't go down her throat. We have also done an examination for the throat, but it came out fine, no problem was found, and likewise for the imaging for the throat, it came out fine, but we don't know the reason why she can't swallow food.
I wanted to get an opinion from another doctor because we need to send her somewhere else since we are not seeing any significant improvement.
Thank you

Hello Leonard, as you may have read, I have written that the blood does not get infected. So, there is no infection in the blood. There can be various sites where the infection develops, microbes may circulate in the blood, but this does not mean that the blood is infected. For the difficulty in overcoming in foods, you will do Ferritinemia, Sideremia, and TIBC. The lack of iron is one of the reasons why foods are not overcome

Sent by Erald taci , më 05 May 2019 në 03:36
Hello Eraldi, one of the reasons for the increase in Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate is the increase in fibrinogen and other proteins associated with acute inflammation, including that triggered by infections. Of course, it is elevated, but the cause (the possible infection in the lungs) needs to be treated in order for the erythrocyte sedimentation rate to be corrected. So, continue with the appropriate treatment and after the infection has passed, you can repeat it to see the return to normal values

We’ve been to the doctor many times, and eventually, she underwent an appendectomy. After that, my daughter no longer had problems with constipation, but the pain reappeared after a month. We've done blood tests every two months as they told us, and her leukocyte levels are always high, and the sedimentation rate is slightly increased, which indicates there might be something wrong in her body. Everything else seems fine except for the ASO test, which is always high. At one point, it reached 984, dropped to 300, and then went back up to 984. Her simple urine test looks good, just a bit yellow, but the urine culture shows Escherichia coli at 100,000. I wanted to know if this high ASO is dangerous. My daughter hasn’t had any fever. I wanted to know more about this because the doctor said her blood is infected, which is why her levels won’t go down. She has taken 5 shots of penicillin, but nothing seems to positively impact my daughter’s condition. We also tried natural remedies, like drinking cranberry juice and blueberry juice that I prepared myself, but nothing seems to help. I am now very worried

Hello Amela, the fact that leukocytes and erythrocyte sedimentation rate might be high does not necessarily mean there is a blood disease. One of the blood's tasks is the transport of leukocyte cells to their action sites, and when the demand for these cells increases, as happens with infections for neutrophils, there will be an increase in circulation. We suspect different inflammatory foci, often triggered by infection. About antistreptolysin, you will talk with the ENT doctor and about the urinary infection with the pediatric nephrologist

Hello, I wanted to tell you I have a 6-year-old daughter who has had problems with constipation and stomach pain for two years. We went from doctor to doctor, and eventually, she had surgery on her appendix. After that, she no longer had constipation problems, but the pains reappeared after a month. We've done tests every two months as we were told her leukocytes are high and sedimentation is slightly increased, indicating something is wrong in her body. Everything else seems fine, except the ASO test keeps coming back high, once reaching 984, then dropping to 300, and then back up to 984. Her simple urine test comes back fine, slightly yellow, whereas her urine culture shows Escherichia coli at 100,000. I wanted to know if this ASO level is dangerous. My daughter hasn't had any fever or significant issues, but I'm very concerned. The doctor says her blood is infected, which is why the levels aren't dropping. She has even taken 5 shots of penicillin, but nothing seems to positively affect her.

Hello, I wanted to tell you that I have a 6-year-old daughter. For two years, she has had issues with constipation and abdominal pain. We went to many doctors, and they did surgery on her appendix. After that, my daughter didn't have constipation problems anymore, but the pain returned after a month. We have done tests every two months whenever they told us, and her leukocyte levels are always high, with sedimentation slightly elevated, which indicates there is something wrong in her body.

My daughter hasn't had any fever or minor issues. I want to know more about this. The doctor says her blood is infected, which is why it doesn't go down. She has taken 5 injections of penicillin, but nothing seems to positively affect my daughter.

Hello Artemida, bacteria in the blood are detected through a test called blood culture, and as a rule, it is done in hospital conditions. Has such a test been done? Who has evaluated that the spleen is not doing its job? What is the number of white blood cells? What about neutrophils/segments? If there really are bacteria in the blood, the specialist doctor is an infectious disease specialist. The blood does not get sick when it has bacteria; it only transports the bacteria

Dear esteemed,
I am 25 years old. This year I have been very sensitive to viruses and have also had problems with my spine (deviation of the 4-5 rings). Doctors have told me that the deviation came from not sitting straight, as well as because I spend many hours sitting due to work. My blood tests came back fine except for Lymphocytes 50% and Neutrophils 44%.
Is it possible that the problem with my back is related to the value of the tests and how can I improve?
Thank you!

Hello. The boy was always getting sick but had a fever. He would be okay for 2 weeks and then get a fever again every time. But I took him to doctors for a visit, they kept saying it was a virus, the climate is to blame, he is delicate like a child. But every time I took the child for a visit asking why his color is like this, they would tell me that my child is pale, like he doesn't have his normal color. Anyway, they gave him antibiotics. The boy has had this problem since he was 5 or 6 years old. Now, I quickly took the boy to the Greek Clinic. And now, I quickly discovered that the boy had this nasal infection, and then it got into his blood. Now my question is, since I discovered it so late, does it pose any risk to the child's health?

Hello! Throughout this year, I have had several bouts of infection in my tonsils and larynx, and I have used all the antibiotics as directed by the doctor. I also visited an ENT specialist for the tonsils, and he said it is not an infection in the tonsils because I do not have a fever, even though the infection looks severe and recurs every two weeks. I am thinking it might be a blood infection since the sedimentation rate is high at 46, and the glands around my neck swell a lot. What tests should I do to find out where this infection is coming from?
Sent by ana, më 15 December 2019 në 15:18
Hello Ana, you can come to the American Hospital one day for our ENT doctor to check you. If he also says that they are not of infectious origin, the removal of the tonsils is considered, and their biopsy is done. As you have read, circulating blood serves as a transporter of microorganisms, but they do not multiply in it. They need to find the appropriate environment to multiply

I have done all the tests for viruses and they come back negative, and the PCR is very good. I want to know if stress can cause these kinds of changes in tests and if having a chronic vaginal infection could cause these changes

Hello, winters you value declines and rises. Different periods have different references. Monocytes for us are 2-10% and Lymphocytes 20-50%. Chronic inflammation can cause changes in them

Hello, Doctor. I have done a blood test where the monocytes are 13.8% while (2-12) has been considered as the normal range plus the erythrocyte sedimentation rate is 35, the other values are all within the norms. What does this increase in monocytes and erythrocyte sedimentation rate mean? Thank you
Sent by Olta , më 10 October 2020 në 09:23
Hello Olta, The percentage of monocytes is elevated, but what matters is their absolute value (number). The norm is < 1,000 mm^3. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is calculated based on age and gender. For females, the formula is: age + 10 / 2 (e.g., for a 60-year-old woman, the normal erythrocyte sedimentation rate is 60 + 10 / 2 = 35 mm/h)

Hello doctor!
I am a 30-year-old girl
All my tests were within normal values for white blood cells (WBC 7.4*10/3; lymphocytes 46.9; monocytes 7;) except for neutrophils 41.1% and eosinophils 5%. I had my tests done in February 2020 where the neutrophils were 43.4%; in July 2020 they were 42.1% and in November 2020 41.1% where in the analysis formula eosinophils were 5%,
Please, is this value normal? Is it related to vaginal infections? In a routine smear test I had done in March, it showed E.coli but I have no discomfort and I thought maybe it was a mistake since I still have not had sexual intercourse, but I don't know maybe it's related to the values of the tests

Hello Mariola, as a rule, infections increase neutrophils. I would recommend that a leukocyte formula be done under a microscope, by a doctor

Hello doctor! I am writing to you again regarding the leukocyte formula.
I am the case where all my tests were fine except for the neutrophils at 41.1%, which in March 2020 were 43.4% and now in November 42.1%.
WBC in March was 5.4 * 10 ^3 whereas in November 2020 it's 7.4*10^3
In the leukocyte formula, the percentages are:
Neutrophils 38%
Eosinophils 5%
Lymphocytes 48%
Stabs 2%
Monocytes 7%
Basophils 0%
In the stool analysis, they found Ascaris lumbricoides.
Is this the cause of the decreased neutrophils?
I've read a lot these days about these parasites and read that they reach the lungs, which has scared me.
A while ago, I had stomach discomfort twice, a feeling of bloating or pain sometimes on the appendix side and sometimes on the left side. It lasted two days both times and then went away.
When I had an ultrasound in March, the ultrasound technician mentioned seeing a swollen part, suggested to do a scan but I didn't do it since all my tests were fine, so I had two more ultrasounds including a gynecological one, and the other doctors didn't notice anything suspicious to warrant a scan. And they said it might have been spasms.
Do you think it could have been the worms and do they only get treated with antibiotics, how do I know if they haven't caused something more serious like in the lungs etc.
In the analysis, only the name of the worms is mentioned and not the quantity of their presence.
Thank you, doctor, health and all the best

Hello Mariola, for the parasite, you will discuss with the infectious disease doctor for treatment. If the neutrophils are at least 1,000 mm3 in absolute value, even better > 1,500 mm3, they are a very good value. However, in our work, we do not rely only on the device's values, but we evaluate what the specialist doctor describes to us through the microscope

Hello doctor,
My father (75 years old) has had a cough, chills, and temperature that occasionally reached 37.5 (it goes down on its own, without taking anything) for 6 days. The blood tests that were out of the normal range are these:
Complete blood count (I am also noting the norms since they vary by labs):
- WBC 3.08 (norm 5 - 10 x10³/uL)
- Monocytes % 12.7 (norm 3 - 7 %)
- Neutrophils # 1.78 (norm 2 - 7.5 x10³/uL)
- RDW-SD 36.7 (norm 37 - 54 fL)
Leukocyte formula:
- Bands 12 (norm 3 - 6 %)
- Neutrophils (Segmented) 43 (norm 50 - 62 %)
- Lymphocytes 22 (norm 25 - 40 %)
- Monocytes 23 (norm 3 - 7 %)
C-reactive protein and ESR were within norms. Lung x-ray within norms, and blood oxygen within norms.
The pulmonologist, from the symptoms (but hasn't seen the blood tests yet), did not suspect Covid-19.
He also had difficulty urinating (burning sensation and feeling like he can hardly urinate) for 2-3 days, which today was starting to improve. In the urine analysis, everything was within norms. Accompanying diseases: colitis and prostate (not at worrying levels). Medications he takes daily: Valsacombi (hydrochlorothiazide), Tansulosina Reliva, Salospir (acetylsalicylic acid), and Amlodipine. So far, he hasn't received any treatment for the symptoms besides vitamins.
What can we do doctor, an appointment with a specialist, other analyses, or something else?
Thank you very much in advance, all the best, Rina
PS: I was reading the questions and answers from the beginning, and only somewhere in the middle did I notice your name, as the doctor who was responding. We have met personally, doctor, and I have great respect for you, even more now that I saw that you are responding to people's concerns online

Some of the data are: WBC = 7.18; RBC = 5.43; HGB = 15.3; Neut = 4.25 (59.2%), Lymph = 1.97 (27.4%); Mono = 0.73 (10.2%); EO = 0.20 (2.8%); PLT = 292; Erythrocyte sedimentation rate = 3 mm/h. With this data, high Mono and low Lymph, do I risk for Covid? Meanwhile, I do not know of any symptoms. Thank you

Hello doctor,
The analysis of the 11-year-old boy has values above the norm
Eosinophils 0.55 and 5.8%
Basophils 0.19 and 2%
Monocytes 0.72 and 7.5%
Neutrophils 4.33 and 45.3%
Other values are normal. Should we be concerned about these values?
Thank you

Hello. I had a question.
after I did the blood tests, in the letter of the analyses there was a comment: "in the leukocyte formula there is a left shift of 9%, absolute basophils, and some reactive lymphocytes, in the red series normochromia and normocytosis are observed as well as normothrombocytosis on the smear"..
I do not know if you can tell me the explanation of these words...
Also, in the analyses, the mean platelet volume came out to be 6.6 fl
Thank you

Hello Gabri, a shift to the left in the leukocyte formula classically indicates the presence of an infection in the body. It has little practical importance; it is also connected to the patient's clinical presentation. Absolute basophils, we evaluate them, but if the formula is done by machines, they often make mistakes. Normothrombocytes are something normal

In fact, even in other instances, my erythrocyte sedimentation rate has been high when other values were within normal ranges. After this, I also did a PCR analysis and for calcium, as well as a urine analysis, but those came back within normal ranges. I wanted to know what could cause an increase in blood sediment?

Hello doctor. In July, I started to notice some red patches, initially on the forearm area. Sometimes they would appear with itching, other times the skin would just turn red. They could last for hours and then disappear. Sometimes they were also accompanied by darkening. After one day, my left ear started making a noise like piiiiippp... causing it to block, and my right ear began to make so much noise that I couldn't hear well, and slightly loud noises in the environment would cause me pain. The next day it started to normalize, but even today I still hear noise in my right ear. I went for a check-up for my ear and at first glance, there was some redness, dry skin, and a bit of fungus. But the noise did not go away. Then I had an audiogram and tympanometry, which showed that the hearing in my right ear had significantly decreased. The doctor asked me to do a complete blood analysis, ASLO (since I have chronic tonsillitis, with pus and I have a high level of ASLO. Previously, 5 years ago, I was diagnosed with Streptococcus B). I was asked to do the C-Reactive Protein analysis which turned out fine. I was asked to do a TSH thyroid analysis which turned out fine. I was asked to do analyses for Urea, Creatinine, AST(SGOT), ALT(SGPT), Total/Direct/Indirect Bilirubin which all turned out fine within norms. When I did the analyses two weeks ago, I turned 25 years old so in the complete blood analyses I got: Neutrophils NEU% 41.1 Lymphocytes LYM% 50.6 Lymphocytes LYM# 4.06 Red Blood Cells* 4.11 Hematocrit* 37.1 Hemoglobin* 12.8 Erythrocyte sedimentation rate 32.

Good morning, I apologize for bothering you so early, but it has been a while since I've been suffering a lot with my little boy, and I really don't know what to do anymore; it feels like the situation has gotten out of my hands.
Initially, he had bronchitis at the end of September, beginning of October, and the local pediatrician gave us Azeltin for 3 days, which did nothing, and then the same bronchitis symptoms started again from mid-October, and we were given Azetromicin Sandoz for 5 days. Then he got a purulent tonsillitis and I had to go to another pediatrician, who gave us Wincef medicine and Davixon injections for three days. This happened right after he got his 6-month vaccine around October 26; he sort of recovered by the beginning of December when he got blocked again and was hospitalized for bronchopneumonia for 8 days at the pediatrics with Ceftriaxone twice a day and steam treatment. Right after he was discharged, they gave us Klacid Pediatric for 10 days, and before finishing the antibiotic, at the end of December, he got blocked again so I took him to an allergologist, Sonila Borici, at the pediatrics, and she gave us Sintredius 2 vials in the morning for 6 days, and he recovered again. But 3 days ago, his cough, fever, and runny nose started again, even though the temperature did not exceed 38.3! But Sonila advised us to do allergy tests, which I knew were pointless because they showed nothing.
Last night, I did a complete blood analysis for him, and it showed a bacterial infection according to a pediatrician who read it and told me to do antibiotics again, but since he has used so much, I no longer have trust... I am sincerely sorry for going on so long, but it seems like with all these treatments, instead of healing, we are harming my boy, which is why I am writing to you because it has been so long, and we are fine, but the little one has been suffering (the boy is 9 months old, and he started teething at 5 months).
His PCR came out 122.8 mg/L.

Hello Mustaf, the abnormal values are both low and high. You need to know the values to help you

Hello!
I am 23 years old with scoliosis. On the right side of my abdomen below, I have numbness and it has spread to the right side from my head to my thigh… I did a complete blood test and it came out fine… the neurologist told me that it could be syringomyelia and it has stressed me… tomorrow I will also visit an orthopedist… what is done in this case to find out what causes the numbness? :(
Thank you!

Hello Era, what you describe is not related to blood diseases. You will discuss this with the orthopedist

Is it something dangerous because here they told me it's not something dangerous, but I wanted to know from you too. She also has a red mark on her back for 5 months and I have applied Triamgalen cream on it and it disappeared, but after two weeks, the spot where it was is still slightly visible but not as much.

What concerns me is the above-normal value of red blood cells, Hgb, and Hct. Even two months ago, these values were at RBC 6.05, HGB 17.4, HCT 49.8. The other values are within the normal range. I do not smoke, but I do physical work sometimes and it's exhausting. Thank you

Higher LYMPH 5.7 and 47% which are now decreasing but I see an increase in Eosinophils above the norm 6.6 % and a minimal decrease in Neutrophils where the norm is 40% are these results considered normal?

Hello Andi, you will do ferritinemia, hemoglobin electrophoresis, and parasite feces. Eosinophils often increase due to the presence of parasites and in cases of allergies

Hello Erlda, the values of red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit are slightly elevated than normal. There are no complaints. They will be reassessed after 1, 2 months. If they tend to increase, you will consult with a hematologist. Physical activity is recommended, drinking water, and if you use tobacco, to reduce/quit it

Hello doctor! Two months ago, I had a consultation with you and it turned out that my ferritin was 14, and you said that I needed to be treated for two months with ferrous sulfate and vitamin C. And to come back to you for a consultation. I used the medicines you gave me. However, I started to feel very tired, weak, short of breath, and had frequent heart palpitations one day. Now I did an analysis of the Thyroid gland and the endocrinologist told me that I have low T3, meaning hypothyroidism. I am also being treated for this. Now I am worried if I might have this from anemia too, because I have been feeling weak and tired for a month now whenever I do some physical activity. What do you suggest?
Sent by Grasilita, më 04 November 2022 në 08:57
Hello Grasilita, Ferrograd is a very successful preparation for correcting anemia and iron deficiency. There is no connection between hypothyroidism and Iron Deficiency. To see the effectiveness of the treatment, it is very easy, do a complete blood count and ferritinemia

Dear Doctor, I am 34 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing severe leg pain at the hip joint, upper thighs for two weeks. Initially, we blamed the growing belly, but then I had an MRI scan which showed Avascular necrosis of the femoral head. They have given me paracetamol for the pain, 500mg 3 times a day. I can't walk and am using crutches. I used utrogestan, a progesterone hormone, for 2 months of the pregnancy, the second and third month, but I did not use aspirin because I thought it would thin my blood, could this have been a fatal mistake for me? I have a kind of blood clot near the collarbone area of one breast that appeared during pregnancy. The gynecologist wants to keep me until at least the 37th week because I want to give birth as soon as possible by surgery, but she prefers natural birth. I had an allergy in the 7th month called PUPPP with itching and blisters. Now, I am bedridden. My D-dimer was 1600 and INR or PCR, as it is called, was 7. I am worried about my life; do I risk thrombosis if I give birth by surgery because it seems that's what the gynecologist fears. What can I do to alleviate this worry; I am a 36-year-old first-time mother. Where should I turn and are there any other tests needed for the blood clot or whatever? Thank you, I await your response please

I have done the tests again and my ferritin came out to be 2.6ng/ml. Meanwhile, hemoglobin is 10, hematocrit 33.4, MCV 68.8, MCH 20.9, RDWcv 21.8. I have had this condition of hemoglobin for a while, whereas my ferritin used to be higher.

Hello Aurela, if regular medication is not taken, the correction of anemia and even more so of iron stores cannot be expected. Especially since the cause persists (the repeated loss of blood, hence iron, with menstruation). If you do not use it due to negligence, you can reuse it; if the medication gives you problems, you can come, and we can replace it with another preparation

The person was diagnosed with lung cancer one year and a half ago. In June 2022, they started chemotherapy and successfully completed 6 cycles, then underwent 6 weeks of continuous radiotherapy on the lung, which they finished in December 2022. So far, they have not shown any concerns, they have not had to take pills or anything else for therapy for almost a year. Today, they had to do blood, urine, and lung x-ray analyses. They have a doctor's appointment on Monday. However, after noticing these low levels in the analyses, we are worried and do not know how urgent it is, whether to wait until Monday or go to the emergency room in the morning.
PLT: result 209 (normal values 150-450)
PCT: result 0.11 (normal values 0.16-0.36)
PDWs: result 5.6 (normal values 11.1- 19.7)
PDWc: result 33.8 (normal values 37.8- 43.6)
MPV: result 5.3 (normal values 8.0-15.0)
P-LCC: result 32 (normal values 55- 139)
P-LCR: result 15.21(normal values 25.30- 53.80)
MID %: result 11.0 (normal values 3.0- 7.0)
These are the ones that stand out.
The others are within normal values

Hello Edi, the value of 209,000 mm3 for platelets is normal. The range is 144-444,000 mm3. This is important for chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The others are not important and are still normal

Hello Doctor,
My question is this, my 8-month-old daughter had a viral virus (influenza), that's what they call it here in Germany where we live. She had a fever for 6 weeks, it went away for two days and then she caught it again, she had a cough with thick phlegm, and many symptoms, it was a very severe virus and I had to take her to the doctor very often. We did all the tests, everything was fine except for the leukocytes (WBC. 16.0)
Slightly above normal they said, and now, a week later, she's fine, no more fever, but she has developed some glands (glands in her throat), the doctor did an Ultrasound but said it's normal due to the virus. My question, Doctor, is that I'm very worried it might be related to a disease, for example, Leukemia, the girl has no other complaints, eats normally. I'm going to do another Ultrasound in two weeks to see if they are growing. I touch them but I don't see anything that has decreased. Can you tell me if it could be something dangerous?
Thank you very much, Doctor, for always having time for us
