Bursted Lump On The Knee, Fever, Body Ache. Negative For Influenza. Low Neutrophils. What Could Be Wrong?
my husband had a lump on his knee for years, and we never knew what it was. A few weeks ago it burst and he had a fever chills and body aches for 4 days. Fever 102 and eventually it would break when he sweat it out. We went to the doctor and was tested for influenza A and B. (negative) CBC- normal except what i though was strange was one of his WBC were down. I think neutrophils.
