patient was having high fever and this test was conducted with suspicion of mosquito born diseases and doc here concluded it to be Typhoid and kid was hospitalised and since yesterday morning fever is going up and down. whats your view on this and how can be treated low hemoglobin
Brief Answer:
double infection....
Detailed Answer:
The reports you uploaded reveals positive results for both dengue as well as typhoid. I hope all other tests including malaria, urine infection and others are performed as well.
At this time, hospitalisation is a good choice. He should be treated with antibiotics to cover typhoid infection along with iv fluid therapy and medications to treat fever. During treatment, his platelet count as well as hematocrit should be monitored.
Hope this helps.

Thanks doctor. I am bit confused with Dengue diagnosis as I see platlate count is in range. Please clarify which part of report are you referring for dengue.
Brief Answer:
Misinterpretation...
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I am sorry that was an error. I was reviewing another patient who had dengue with typhoid. In your case, I did not find dengue report. But it would be wise to test for dengue also - dengue IGM as well as Dengue NS1 antigen test and rule this out.
I hope its clear now.
