I have been in hospital in Feb for 11 days with critically low whit blood count of 650. Bone marrow was done for leukemia however test was negative. I am being told I am a mystery. I need some advise.
The cause of low WBC count needs to be found and treated.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
The white blood cell count (WBC) is critically low (650/microlitre) and the neutrophil count is also critically low.
Low white blood count can be due to bone marrow depression secondary to drugs, viral infection, radiotherapy etc.
You need to consult a hematologist to look for the probable cause of low white blood cell count.
ALT and AST are raised.
These parameters can be raised due to liver disease/ injury viral infection being common.
These findings need to correlated with clinical findings.
Since Trop I was within range, possibility of ischemic heart disease is ruled out.
If you have more queries, I will be glad to answer.
Thanks and take care

Viral infections have self limiting course, can wait for 3-4 weeks.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome again,
Most viral infections have self limiting course.
You may wait for couple of weeks and repeat the complete blood count thereafter.
There is a possibility that the blood counts may get back to normal.
Thanks and take care
