my child is a boy of 3 and a half yrs his wt is 12.5 kg and recently he suffered with viral fever noe his fever has gone down since he is very lean and thin the doctors adviced a blood test and an x ray of the chest in the reports his esr is 30 mm and the x ray of pa chest shows some haziness what does this mean
Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. Viral infection makes the child prone to bacterial infections like pneumonia and even Primary TB. Without seeing the x-ray it is difficult to comment about haziness in the x-ray. Better consult pediatrician for thorough investigation and treatment. You ask for Manitou test as the baby is going down and becomes lean and thin. Hope this answer will serve your purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care Chat Doctor. V.
