Hi, the report suggests, raised ESR and CRP which points towards infection. Neutrophilia suggest acute infection( possibly bacterial). AST is deranged which suggest an acute infection causing derangement of liver function. The child might be suffering from Enteric fever(Typhoid) or Acute viral hepatitis. Get a serum Widal done(although not very sensitive in first week) and viral markers like Anti-HAV, HBsAG, Anti-HCV,Anti-HEV. Consult a physician as the child might require antibiotic course in form of third generation cephalosporins.
