What Is The Reason For Elevated White Blood Cells At 6 Weeks Of Pregnancy And Why Did The Baby Stop Growing?
Hi Doctor,
I had elevated White blood cells of 0000.I had fever and chills so I went to urgernt when I was 6 weeks pregnant.Emergency did all tests they didn't find any infection why my WBC was high .I had antibitoics and my baby stopped growing after 6 weeks
Hi, The absence of a noted source of infection as cause for the elevated blood counts raises the suspicion of an auto-immune cause, a rare possibility of the gestation sac being considered as a foreign body by the immune system as reported in very few cases in the medical history. This could also be the reason for the arrest of the pregnancy and the tissue reaction may have stopped once the pregnancy stopped growing. Else, undiagnosed viral infections, malarial fever also can lead to such a picture. Hope your query has been answered. Take care.
