Just got over a NASTY cold! My counts are lower
Hi everyone,

I just had a horrible cold/cough that lasted about two weeks. I was pretty much stuck in bed, sweating and taking all kinds of cold medication. It ran about the same course for everyone around me too. Anyway my counts were cruising upwards 5 months post ATG...and they seemed to have dropped a little after the infection.


Pre cold 12/30 Post cold (today)

HGB 11.1 10.8

WBC 3.3 3.2

ANC 2.0 1.6

PLT 65 67

I'll talk to my doctor in a few days. Can an infection throw off your numbers?

Thanks,

Ryan
