19 Month Old -- Leukemia? Infectious Mononucleosis? Posted: 12-31-04 22:22pm
My 19 month old nephew has been admitted
to the hospital with an elevated
temperature (101), swelling in his neck, a
high white blood cell count (35) and
elevated ldh levels (700). While the
mono spot test came back negative, the
doctor indicated that such did not
conclusively rule out mono. Question --
is a 700 ldh consistent/inconsistent with
mono? Thanks in advance...(the joy of a
hospital being understaffed over a holiday
weekend...)
