Hi,
Based on your description, it is essential to rule out malaria in your aunt's case.
All other blood tests could be normal, but she needs to be tested again for malaria. Her blood needs to be tested by thick smear to look for malarial parasites as well as rapid card test.
Kindly consult Physician with the report for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ashakiran S,
