High wbc counts and ricketsial infection

2017-07-30 09:57:40
My father is 64 yrs old and diabetic. He is having severe leg pain and swelling in ankles. Doctor's diagnosis was ricketsial infection. He has been given insulin, antibiotics & pain meds but the swelling is still there. So we went for 2nd opinion. The 2nd doctor said to go to a haematologist. Please advise what we should do.
