Your CBC report is normal. Please consult with the same Doctor in AIIMS Bhopal who advised you to get CBC done.

Actually PCT is pro calcitonin value which shows some infection in the body, so needs to be ruled out,if sepsis or due to your previous Tuberculosis which may be not completely treated…??? Don’t leave the doctor without knowing the cause….
