I Have been Diagnosed with Osteoporosis, Advanced Degenerative Disease, Fibromyalgia, Brittle Bone Disease, Anxiety and Depression and Show for the past year a High White cell count~ showing infection. The Infection can not be found. What is my next step or opinions
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. It is not the case always that high WBC count is suggestive of infection. It is likely that some underlying malignancy is there which is favoring the high WBC count. I advise you should go for bone marrow examination. This will guide us regarding the possible pathology of the high WBC count. If it is malignancy it will be clearly visible in the report. Further management can be possible thereafter. As the WBC count is high I advise you should maintain good hygiene as this WBC are immature and won't provide protection for the infection. Please adopt good handwashing practice as it is equally important. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
