A member asked:

Resolved hcv 12 years rna neg. recent normocytic anemia, normal wbc norml -immature gran abs .037% resid. hcv cause high ig? or is marrow more likely?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely HCV: It would be very unusual for active hcv infection to cause immature wbc. Anemia definitely is seen in active hepatitis or with advanced liver disease. If not a reaction to an acute infection or inflammation, immature granulocytes usually point to a bone marrow issue.
