Can laboratory results indicate any neurological issues?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your attached reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The stool report is showing positive result for fungal infection which can be treated by antifungal medication. Your child's CBC report and other reports seem to be normal and you may need not worry about that. However, the BUN to creatinine ratio is high which can be due to kidney disease but creatinine is within limit. You can discuss regrading that with doctor and urine output also need to be measured.

Your child's delay in speech development is not related to any of the provided reports. You need to consult pediatric neurologist for detailed neurological evaluation and to exclude developmental delay including speech and language problem. Without examination, medicine cannot be prescribed. So you should first consult pediatrician who has done specialization in neurology called pediatric neurologist.

Hello, Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have read your concern and below is my advise. The fungus can be seen normally as well in stool examination due to contamination or normal flora of intestine. So if your child does not have chronic diarrhea then no need for antifungal medicine. You can discuss regrading treatment if persistent diarrhea is present for more than two weeks. If no diarrhea, then do not worry. Positive result could be due to normal commensal of intestine flora.

The BUN to creatinine ration is usually up to 20 to 25. But in your child it is high. However creatinine and BUN are not much altered. So, it should be concerned and your child's urine analysis should be done. His urine output also needs to be checked. If clinically after examination any sign of kidney disease is not present, then do not worry and just repeat BUN to creatinine ration after a few days.
