Guest guest Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi everyone! I want to thank you, in advance, for offering this supportive group. I will try to make a long story short.... Our daughter was born prematurely and had a host of medical issues. She was always a little sickly, but grew well, and actually never had an atibiotic until last August. She got pneumonia for the first time, and was on anti. for 2 wks. Had it again in the same lung in November. Got very ill in December, then ended up in the hospital for 10 days in Feb. She has not been the same. I scheduled my own appt with an outside immunologist because pulmonolgy said, " Well, we'll scratch our heads a little deeper next time she gets sick. " All her Igg Iga Igm I believe are normal (those were done in the hospital). This is what he tested and sent to ARUP...please, if you could help me figure these numbers out. She got a pneumo vaccine, and we'll go back in 4-5 wks I believe. CH50 73 igg subclass 1-655 2--181 3--98 4--30 Pneumo serotype 1--1.21 3--.08 4--.32 5--.96 6b--.22 7f--.98 8--.22 9n--.16 9v--.62 12f--.82 14--.31 18c--1.95 19f--1.59 23f--5.38 diptheria 2.1 tetanus 1.0 Also, her lymphocytes are marked abnormal 62% 3.8 absolute value and low neutrophils....27% and abs value of 1.7 She never had an antibiotic other than when she was a baby (she's almost 8 now). I'm so worried something else is even going on. I know you probably can't give advice, but I'm just needing a little help (and a hug) at the moment. Hope to one day return the favor. Thank you, again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
