Explanation of these Test results I just got back?? -CBC & AUTO DIFFERENTIAL lab

May 17, 2007

Hi everyone!

I had my done in the past, BUT this is a week old, my is

about 6 months old; I just had this done this past week. About 2 to

2-1/2 months ago I had my appendix rupture and I had to have surgery;

then I was put on antibiotics and drugs for several weeks. That was

approx. a couple months ago.

Could someone give me some insight into these results; I had my Liver

function, Kidney Function, Lipid, AND my Blood cell count....

I don't see the doctor for a few weeks; so I don't know what these mean-

*WBC- White Blood cell is 'LOW'- Result: 3.5, Range: 4.0-11.0.

RBC--(Normal Range)

HEMOGLOBIN--(Normal Range)

HEMATOCRIT--(Normal Range)

MCV--(Normal Range)

MCH--(Normal Range)

MCHC--(Normal Range)

RDW--(Normal Range)

PLATELET COUNT--(Normal Range)

*SEGS-{I Don't know what 'SEGS' means}- 'LOW' Result: 37.4 Range:

50.0-75.0

[sLIDE REVIEWED]

*LYMPHS- This was 'HIGH' Result: 55.9, Range: 20.0-44.0

MONOCYTES--(Normal Range)

EOSINOPHILS--(Normal Range)

BASOPHILS--(Normal Range)

BANDS--(Normal Range)

~*My 'WBC,' 'SEGS,' and 'LYMPHS' are listed as-(Low),-(Low),-(High).

I read online that having high 'LYMPH' numbers is usually a sign of a

viral infection, or battling a virus?

-That seems to make sense seeming that 'Wikipedia.org' listed EBV,

CMV, etc... as common viruses, which I tested positive, and HIGH for.

-Would this number be elevated because of a distant bacteria infection

although I received a lot of adequate antibiotic treatment? The CT

scans I had of my abdomen showed there was no infection.

Any thoughts??? I want to look into an antiviral real soon; but I'm

not sure what is going on here- and don't see a doc. for another 4-5

weeks!

-Thanks, .

*BTW- WHAT IS 'VIRAL DIE-OFF?' I heard of an understand YEAST

DIE-OFF; but is there really VIRAL DIE-OFF, and what does one expect?
