Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. ESR of 110 is too high.
2. Commonly chronic infections like Tuberculosis, collagen vascular disorders, rheumatoid arthritis requires evaluation. Multiple myeloma or other gammopathies also requires evaluation. CRP or c-reactive protein, which is an inflammatory marker requires evaluation.
3. As all reports are normal, antibodies studies and serum IgG antibodies levels study. Protein electrophoresis and peripheral smear study maybe necessary for further evaluation. Based on reports, further opinion is possible.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
