Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and can understand your concern. You are having multiple petechiae (red and purple, healing) spots all over the body. You are also getting winded, possibly due to reduced hemoglobin. You were being evaluated for a possible lupus anticoagulant.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Based on your query and attached report (attachment removed to protect patient identity), my opinion is as follows: Looking at the report of the HbD trait (hemoglobin D), the prognosis is excellent. The child will be very rarely transfusion dependent and mostly asymptomatic. However, in the future, counseling will be necessary, as this heterozygous variety could turn into a homozygous variety with other hemoglobinopathies such as sickle cell disease, thalassemia, etc., and affect the future generation.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows: Yes, it appears to be secondary to chemotherapy-induced thrombosis. It is usually secondary to the development of venous thrombi usually in deeper veins of the legs. Prolonged bed rest could be an additional factor along with chemotherapy. Now that he is on Lovenox (Enoxaparin), the possibility of future thrombus formation is not there.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Based on your query, my findings are as follows. Your dad is suffering from macrocytic anemia along with leukopenia (low-level WBC) and pancytopenia (deficiency of RBC, WBC, and platelets). There is only a slight decrease in the number of platelets, so you need not worry. Megaloblastic anemia can occur secondarily due to vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. At your age, if we were to consider chronic leukemia, the most likely type would be chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). CML is a type of blood cancer where white blood cells, especially neutrophils (cells that help fight infections), are often found in very high numbers, usually between 100,000 and 200,000 cells per microliter. Your highest recorded white blood cell count has been 15,800 cells/µL, which is only mildly elevated.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Based on test results, my opinion is, it could be chronic Lyme disease. Low CD57 with additional symptoms provided except follicular carcinoma, could be due to chronic Lyme disease. Chronic Lyme disease is associated with a decrease in the CD57 lymphocyte subset that may persist over 10 years. The decrease in CD57 cells appears to reflect a selective immunologic abnormality in patients with chronic Borrelia infection.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern. There are two major blood group systems and more than 400 minor blood group systems. The major blood group systems are the ABO system and the Rhesus system, which are important. In the ABO system, there are A, B, AB, and O.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows: Yes, Neurontin - Gabapentin is known to cause a high WBC (white blood cell) count. If there is no infection, then it is common to worry about leukemia when the WBC count is high. At present, the best idea is to get a peripheral blood smear report done. If there is no increased immature form like blasts, then it is a Neurontin side effect.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Based on your query and attached reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity), my opinion is as follows: Your baby boy probably had viral meningitis, looking at the positive WBC and high monocytes, along with a negative culture. Now that he does not have any fever shows that he has responded very well to the treatment. The count of neutrophils is usually low in infants, and monocytes are usually high. Additionally, the neutrophil range keeps on varying with the day of the week, stress, any associated infections, etc.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows: There appears to be no hematologic disorder, as tests are normal (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Swelling in the legs could be due to varicose veins, causing fluid accumulation. Central retinal vein occlusion can occur due to multiple causes, and it could be more local in nature. All other locations appear uninvolved, hence thinking local.
