Patient's question:
I just finished the abortion surgery, and the doctor said there are contagious things in my blood. They took a lot of blood from me. Today, I heard the nurse mention my. Do I have a if I haven't donated blood?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, in this current situation, I don't know what tests were done during the blood draw. I think what the doctor meant by saying there are viruses in your blood likely refers to the fact that the lymphocyte count in your blood test is higher than normal. Don't worry, it's similar to a cold—most cases are caused by viral infections. When checking a complete blood count, if the neutrophil count is normal and the lymphocyte count is high, the doctor will likely diagnose a viral infection. So, you can get tested to see if it's a cold.
