A member asked:
A 11 years old child having a severe pain at both right and left parts of the abdomen and at her umbilicus. the blood test result shows there is infection in the blood. it is not malaria prevalent area. so what would be its medical indication doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The only definitive indication of infection in the blood culture which requires a minimum of 12 hours to turn positive. Some blood test suggest an infectious process in the body. Without a review of all testing and an exam, diagnosis is not possible. If the kid cannot walk without aggravating the pain, the issue sounds like surgery is needed o rule out appendicitis.
