Due to signs of infection where he had severe shivering and fever for 4 days straight now - he has been admitted at CMC Vellore hospital and is in IV antibiotics.
Apparently such fever is also signs of MDS progression. A blood culture has been ordered to determine source of infection. If it is not bacteria he would have to do another BMB.
The doctors here have said no FISH test in this case and conventional cytogenetics would only be performed. My father also has a long standing dental infection which would require extraction of a teeth. But his platets count has now dropped to 33000. Hb is now at 9.7.
