Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I understand your concern and poor child is suffering a lot. She has gone through so much already, but good thing is she seems to have recovered well from most of it. CRP being high with many neutrophils suggests some infection still going on in your child or may be recovering. If I were your pediatrician, I would get blood cultures done in your child, at least 3 cultures half hour apart from different sites, firstly to look for any infection within the blood that can be cultured and also see if any possibility of infective endocarditis. For a completion of workup, better to consult a cardiologist and get an heart evaluation done as well. Hope that answers your query. Take care.
