Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Blood test done.
Malarial parasites positive ,you got treatment.
Normally White Blood Cells are 4000- 11000/uL.
2% ,but by which method?
S G P T level which is 8 is also normal.
Pus cells in urine is 1-2 /HPF ,also normal.
Cause of concern is loss of weight that too 8 kg within 7-10 days.
As you mentioned in your query ,the cause of this fever may be ,
1 Chikungunya , a viral disease ,in which there is loss of appetite,
extreme fatigue,
joint pain ( many joints involves),
nausea,
vomiting,
headache.
2. Dengue ,after 3-4 days of fever there are rashes and decreases in platelets.
No joint pain.
Consult a physician and get in blood examination completely.
Hope I have answered your query.
If further any question I will be happy to answer.
