A member asked:
I had a fbc done. hb is low cud be iron deficiency but report also showed toxic granulation of neutrophils. should that be investigated to see where the infection is or if left untreated what cud be the consequence?

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Start taking iron and multivitamins to address your anemia, Toxic granulations do not equate with infection. If you do not have fever and have not lost weight you may watch and wait. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
