A member asked:
Can you tell me if i am currently fighting an infection (such as herpes or gonorrhea), would that show up in a cbc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: The CBC is likely to be normal until the gonorrhea gets into your bloodstream -- which hopefully it won't. Herpes won't show on CBC. The most valuable examination, by far, is still the history and physical exam.
