Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Recently, I did a full blood workup, and my eosinophil count, WBC, and B12 levels are high. I am a chronic sufferer of pouchitis. My creatinine and BUN levels are normal, like all other levels. I often take many supplements daily. Can you please help me? I am scared.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Your B12 level can be high due to an intake of many supplements that contains B12 within it. Your eosinophil count can be considered very high. Usually, it is elevated in the case of allergic inflammation or hives a problem. Chronic skin lesions like eczema or parasitic infestation can lead to such presentation. So consult a nearby physician for a detailed evaluation. You can take anti-allergic medication like Fexofenadine and Levocetirizine combination for seven days. Then, you have to repeat your full CBC (complete blood count) with a peripheral smear examination.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
