qannie47 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I finally got copies of all my ds records from peds doc. On 3 different blood labs, about 1 year apart, his Lymphocyte % were low each with EVERY time with high WBC counts. Most recent from Childrens's a week ago still waiting on. Example: 3/2103 During an episode WBC 16.7 > range 4.5 to 11.0 Neutrophil 15.0 > range 1.8 to 11.0 Lymphocyte 4.4 > range 10 to 50 When I read up on Lymphocytes, it talked about low Lymphocytes can inhibit WBC from doing their "thing" in fighting off infections. It also stated that low Lymphocytes put a child in a vulnerable position to getting sick easily. Does anybody have any thoughts on this. To me it is indicative to an auto-immune issue....Yet nobody every pointed this out to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowPow Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Who is going to be answering to you for these labs including TPO ? Ped/neuro? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qannie47 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 PowPow, The curious thing is that the 3 sets of labs run at different times in his past and the low Lymphocytes were never even addressed.....I just realized these results yesterday when I finally received his complete medical file...it will be interesting when I get my hands on most recent labs done at Lurie's Childrens hospital 2 weeks ago. They stated that all labs were normal.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowPow Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Wasn't there positive TPO antibodies? Sorry, I was not implying a connection. I just was hoping someone who is familar with HE or AE will be following this closely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
