What Does The Blood Test Report Indicate?
Question: My daughter's White blood cells result is 17.7, normal should be 5-10. Her segmenters result is 0.87, normal value should be 0.55-0.77. Her lymphocytes 0.11, normal is 0.20-0.35, monocytes is 0.02, normal should be 0.03-0.05. Platelet count is 262,000, normal should be 142,000-424,000. Red blood cells is 5.1, normal is 4-5. Hemoglobin is 126, normal should be 120-160. Hematocrit is 0.42, normal should be 0.37-0.47. She is 8 yrs. old and we just got the result but no doctor is available. Is this something I should be worried about?
Brief Answer:
Report looks like acute infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi...This report looks like an infection of undetermined and I need more history and clinical examination finding of the kid to take a decision on further what to do.
It looks like a fever of 2-3 days duration. It could be a viral fever or any other fever. But it all depend on how the kid is, rather than how the report is.
Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral.
Get back to me with the answers to below questions -
1. Is there any fever and if so how high is the fever?
2. Did you check the temperature with a thermometer?
3. How is the activity of the kid when the temperature comes down?
4. Actually why was this blood test advised?
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.

Brief Answer:
Possibilites of fever and hip joint pain
Detailed Answer:
Hi...Thank you for your trust in me.
This is a fever of 5 days in an otherwise normal kid with a pain now in her right hip.
She is active and as you did not mention, I take it that she is able top walk and move around. I also assume that there is not decreased range of movement across the right hip-that means- she is able to move her hip joint and thigh as any other normal kid of this age.
I put forth these possibilities -
1. Viral illness
2. Transient synovitis
3. Reactive arthiritis
4. Septic arthritis
If I were your treating pediatrician, I would have considered doing CRP, X-ray of the pelvis including both the hip joints (for comparison) and a blood culture. I would wait for the CRP results and if it high I would stat her on IV antibiotics pending blood culture reports. Meanwhile I would like to take an opinion of the orthopedic surgeon too.
I wish your kid a speedy recovery. If you are happy with my suggestions, please rate my suggestions. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link. Please find the link below.
