Would My Reports Be Considered Normal When WBC Count S High During A Fungal Infection?
Question: Hi Doctor, I am attaching my blood report, I would like to know if this is a normal report and if I can be considered to be Fit. In the report, there is high WBC and in urine test Acetone and Ca. Oxalate found, I would like to know the likely cause. Age 28, Obese, Non diabetic. I do not have any allergies or medical condition, however from past 2 weeks I have a minor Jock infection that I am treating with Anti-fungal cream. ECG and Chest Xray came out normal. Thanks
Brief Answer:
Its a normal report if you have no symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through the report. Your history suggests fungal infection and your high eosinophil count in report confirms it. Since yeast cells are absent in urine, its mostly a superficial (skin) fungal infection. Its not gone to your blood and urine. DONOT take oral anti-fungals for minor skin issues. Anti-fungal cream is fine.
High WBC count indicates an infection. If you have no such problems then it can be ignored. If you have any past history of infection, then WBC takes time to lower. Do let me know if you have any such symptoms or history.
Regarding trace acetone, it needs more investigations. It is usually seen if blood sugar levels are high. So go for the following blood tests: fasting blood sugar levels, kidney function test.
Ca oxalate can precipitate in kidneys to form stones. Its better to avoid foods rich in oxalates. Also take more of clean drinking water. Also its better to keep track of urine output (means measuring the amount of urine being formed in a day with the help of bed panmeasuring flask).
Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
