Brief Answer:
Fever related to lymphocytosis/ eosinophilia

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
I am Dr Jyothi BL, Pathologist, and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query and lab reports my opinion is as follows
1. Your lymphocyte counts are on the higher side of normal range. This might explain low grade fever.
2. Lymphocytosis occurs in viral infection.
3. There is definite increase in eosinophils. You will have to get a absolute eosinophil count done.
4. It’s necessary to find out the cause of eosinophilia. Get a stool examination done to look for parasites as cause of eosinophilia. Other allergic conditions like asthma, skin allergies have to be ruled out.
5. Your complaints of fever may be related to eosinophilia as well as it might trigger inflammation and the events following it will trigger release of pyrogens causing fever.
6. Normocytic normochromic blood picture means RBCs are normal.
Hope this helps. If you have any more queries glad to help again.
Regards
Dr Jyothi BL

Brief Answer:
Record temperature to confirm fever

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for query
1.Viral infections mean nonspecific complaints like bodyache, headache/ loss of appetite or more specific like upper respiratory tract infection/ gastrointestinal tract infection.
2. You can record the body temperature to know if it is actually fever or not. If temperature is above 98.6 degrees on Fahrenheit scale, then it is fever.
3. Also get a ESR done along with absolute eosinophil count and stool examination done for parasites.
4. If its a viral infection, counts will settle once the infection settles.
Hope this helps.
Any further queries, glad to help again
Regards
Dr Jyothi BL
