Cbc showing infection/inflammation. what does this mean?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Lab data: Without knowing your symptoms you have already defined what it means. The issue now is to learn the exact cause of the infection or inflammation. This requires an extensive evaluation. May need a bone marrow aspiration/biopsy and other tests.
