High wbc counts and ricketsial infection
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.
