When is the best time to get a cbc? the patient is a child & have a fever. thank you.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
During fever: You have a child with a fever and want/need cbc. Your doctor will consider the history and physical exam also not just the white blood count of the CBC in order to treat. There is also the differential to consider in cbc. If your child is very sick then a blood culture taking during or early in fever will be best. Most viral infections are self limiting, the key is fluids.
