Blood disorder
My 3 year old cousin had developed fever a month ago. When it didn't reduce after 5 days, doctor prescribed antibiotics and gave hemoglobin test. The test indicated hb levels around 4.6. Seeing that, the child was admitted to hospital and given drips and due to low hb, given 4 units of blood too. Urine test indicated urine infection also. After a week or so, child was asked to review with CBC report. The CBC report came as follows :
WBC 2.7
LYM 2.2
MID 0.3
GRA 0.2
HGB 9.4
MCH 29
MCHC 33.1
RBC 3.26
MCV 87.4
HCT 28.5
RDW 24.4
Platelet 17k
MPV/PDW/PCT/P-LC: nil.
They are from remote place. Doctors are not able to diagnose anything properly. Kindly give your valuable insights on this case.
