Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is CBC Advisable For A Child Diagnosed With Coxsackie Virus?
Alright How can a child diagnosed with Coxsackie virus get a cbc before the virus is gone? Isn t the pediatrician suppose to wait for the virus to be gone before ordering a complete blood count? Because the levels he in fact knows will seem to be alarming but in truth false alarming. Then send the child to a hemo without any treatment for the virus now the hemo doctor has only the present information without being told of the virus diagnosis jmml. How can the hemo diagnose a small disease and treat it with 6mp a know chemo that causes leukemia for long periods of time.

hi dear, your problem is two fold. first, doctor has not discussed with you in detail and second is the disease JMML you mentioned. coxsachie virus is less of problem and mostly the infection is self subciding. i would be more concern of JMML told to you. its a type of blood cancer and needs full battery of test for diagnosis.is you hematologist is just suspecting it? otherwise discuss with him again. giving 6 MP means he has some strong basis. if it turns out to be JMML,proved then you should discuss the treatment option with your hematologist.
