Brief Answer:
Eosinophils within normal range explained below....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have just received your query. I went through your blood report and can say as following:

Overall, from your chart, I can see that your WBC count has been decreased from 13.7 to 9.1; meaning that you had a bacterial infection and have correctly treated with antibiotics I believe.

With regards to absolute eosinophils count, they are completely within normal range and not worrisome.

Please take note that blood cells eosinophils can be changed as per body exposure to infection or allergens or even a parasites. If your body is being exposed to these factors without causing any rise in blood cells, then, this means that your body is successfully treating the condition itself (is strong enough to do this).

If it will fail, then, the blood cells will be found raised or abnormal and here you might need external help by medical team.

Hope this answers your questions. Let me know if I can be of further help.

I forgot to mention my sed rate is still a little high. Does that mean I still have an infection even though my blood work shows everything is fine.

Did my question go through I don't see anyone researching it yet

Brief Answer:
Please provide the sedimentation range report...

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

I have just received your query.

The presence of high sedimentation rate is showing that there is as n inflammation anywhere in your body. But cannot confirm if it is from infection. White blood cells count together with CRP and other inflammatory tests should get analyzed to determine whether there is still infection in your body.

If they are ok, then watchful waiting advised as further step.

It depends also on the type of infection that we can design a proper and specific treatment strategy.

All the best.

Brief Answer:
Slightly elevated,but not worrisome

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

I went through the sed test you uploaded and can admit is not that worrisome.

I'd suggest to wait for a few weeks without taking any medication and repeat complete blood count and ERs test again.

Meanwhile, if you'll have any health problem, then can repeat the tests earlier and contact your doctor to get further treatment.

Thank you.
