You can post the cbc here if youd like. Its not uncommon for a lab result to flag as abnormal but actually be fine. Blood cultures probably dont appear in your portal until 5 days, but if its negative at 1-2 days then it will almost certainly remain negative. PFAPA is certainly possible, or HIDS, but doesnt really fit the fever pattern.Chronic subtle skin infection was my first thought but sounds like not the case. Could just be back to back to back viruses especially if there are intermittent fever-free days, or mono. Can I presume he doesnt have a central line? I wouldnt be surprised if the doctor tomorrow wants to admit him to the hospital to expedite more testing. We typically send blood for lots of less common infections and non infectious conditions, and sometimes ultrasound and/or mri looking for signs of a site of infection. Please update here if youre comfortable doing so.
Pediatrician ordered blood work at the insistence of my husband after trying to say the fever was due to teething. Again. The CBC with differential came back normal, so they said. But in his medical records, it literally says abnormal in the comments. They also did a blood culture and when I asked about that, they said his preliminary results are fine and they were monitoring for the final results. For some reason, I cannot view this in his patient portal.We found something called PFAPA and are wondering if that's what we are dealing with.
