Patient's question:
On January 1, my daughter had a fever of 39.8 degrees. She was taken to the hospital for a complete blood count, which showed white blood cells at 13.4 (reference range: 3.6-9.7), neutrophil percentage at 74.4 (reference range: 43.2-71.5), neutrophils at 9.97 (reference range: 1.86-7.17), hematocrit at 37.42 (reference range: 38-50), and basophils at 0.12 (reference range: 0.01-0.08). All other tests were normal. She was diagnosed with tonsillitis and given intravenous drips (amoxicillin sodium/sulbactam sodium injection and irinotecan injection). By the third day, her fever remained above 39 degrees, and an X-ray revealed bacterial pneumonia, leading to hospitalization for treatment.Doctor's answer:
Hello, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (α-HBDH) are early markers of myocardial injury. Within 6 hours after myocardial injury, the levels of lactate dehydrogenase and α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase in the blood will rise.In your case, the symptoms are likely caused by myocardial damage, and viral myocarditis cannot be ruled out. It is important to seek treatment as soon as possible if the condition is severe.
