Should I Delay Rituximab After Recent Fever and Vaccination?

Since 26 September I am having fever and 1 October is my rituximab appointment. Should I take this now or wait for sometime. I had taken influenza vaccine 2 vaccine on 27 September. Kindly suggest

1 Answer

Answered on 1st Oct '24

Fever can be out by infections such as the flu. Vaccination can sometimes cause low-grade fever as a normal reaction. Since you have a rituximab appointment on 1 October, you must explain your fever to your doctor before proceeding with the treatment. They will give you the best advice tailored to your situation.

I'm 21 years old women I've a question today i had a CBC 1 blood test and 3 days back i smoked cigarette will my doctor be able to make out by seeing my blood reports that i smoked ?

Female | 21

Cigarette smoking tends to impact the results of CBC blood tests but they don’t directly reveal it. By increasing your white blood cell count, smoking may indicate signs of inflammation or an infection to a physician. Tell truthfully about your smoking habits when asked by healthcare practitioners so that they can provide appropriate treatment for you.

I'm an 18 year old female who thinks she may have Raynaud's? These are my symptoms. ### Raynaud’s Phenomenon: - **Fingers and Hands**: - Frequent color changes in response to cold, stress, or pressure: fingers turning white/yellow, blue/purple, and red during rewarming. - Numbness, pain, and stiffness, especially in cold water or when exposed to cold air. - Fingernails occasionally turn blue, particularly when nervous. - Fingers often go white under light pressure, but color returns after. - Red, painful, and numb fingers, especially when handling cold objects or after cold exposure. - Hands sometimes go pale/white in cold water, with visible blue veins. When they warm up it can feel tingly and intense heat and sometimes burning and uncomfortableness. - Ridges and a light white color underneath fingernails. - A small cut on your hand is taking longer than usual to heal. But cuts in general too. - **Feet and Toes**: - Feet often turn purple or blue when sitting still for long periods, especially without socks. - Numbness and coldness in feet, particularly when standing still or exposed to cold. - Toes sometimes appear weirdly purple/light blue/gray after cold exposure. - Difficulty standing and walking due to numbness and pain in feet, particularly in cold environments. - **General Cold Sensitivity**: - Need to wear multiple layers and use hot water bottles/heat packs to stay warm, especially at night or when sitting still. - Lips sometimes turn blue or darken when cold, especially during Raynaud’s attacks. - Occasional episodes of feeling cold despite being in a warm environment. - **Pain and Discomfort**: - Discomfort in hands and feet during cold exposure, sometimes making it difficult to perform tasks or move. ### Recent Observations: - **Improvement**: - Hands have been warmer than usual recently, with fewer Raynaud’s attacks. - **Persistent Issues**: - A cut on your hand that is slow to heal, potentially due to reduced blood circulation. - Ongoing need to protect hands and feet from cold to prevent Raynaud’s attacks.

Female | 18

It appears like you have Raynaud's Phenomenon. The condition makes your fingers and toes to change color, cause the cold and numb feeling, particularly, when you are exposed to cold or stress. This is due to blood vessels in your extremities overreacting to these triggers, thus, decreasing blood flow. The best way to do this is to wear warm clothes, gloves, and socks, and also avoid the cold that triggers such episodes.

What is aids Can you explain how hiv falls in anyone

Male | 20

AIDS stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. It's a severe condition that is unable to be healed, which is caused by a virus called HIV. HIV, which is the root of AIDS, weakens the human immune system. It is for this reason that the body can not ward off infections. Among the many symptoms of AIDS, the main ones include rapid weight loss, frequent fevers, and extreme tiredness. The most preferable treatment option is to explain HIV through the use of protection drugs during intimacy and not to use needles.  Early screening and taking the required medications could help manage the virus.

I did lft test on Friday and my globulin level is 3.70 and now Tuesday after 4 days I did again lft test and globulin level is 4 I am so scared it increasing what should I do

Male | 38

A minor rise in your globulin level in the blood profile is not usually a cause of concern. Globulin is a protein in your blood that serves as a defense against infections. The levels of this protein may at times, be affected by factors such as dehydration or infections. No need to panic if you have not noticed any change in your health or you have not developed any unusual symptoms. Consume enough water and a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables. If you observe any new symptoms or if this continues, consult with your doctor for further advice.

Affected by both dengue and typhoid platelet decrease to 9000 in 6 Days admitted in ICU injecting platelet will increase platelet in blood? What is the proper treatment

Male | 38

With your platelets decreasing to only 9000, you need to act quickly. Your symptoms include a high fever, body pain, and bleeding. These could be caused by infections like dengue or typhoid. For treatment, you will undergo a platelet transfusion along with medications such as antibiotics. You’ll need to stay in the ICU so your condition can be monitored closely until your platelets increase. To help with your recovery, make sure to get plenty of sleep and eat healthy food.

Hello, Doctor. I hope you're doing well. I recently had the opportunity to review my aunt's blood test results, and I was concerned to see that her neutrophil count is extremely high. Could you please explain what this might mean? Is it possible that she has an infection or a chronic disorder such as rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease? Alternatively, could it be indicative of a more serious condition like cancer? Or perhaps it's related to a side effect of some medication she's taking? I would greatly appreciate your insight into this matter.

Female | 45

A high neutrophil count can indicate inflammation or infection in the body and may be linked to conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease. Certain medications can also cause an increase. If your aunt has symptoms like fever, fatigue, or pain, it's important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Sir blood 8.7 tha report m maine dava bi li h but Mera fever nhi utar rha 1month se jyada ho gya

Female | 26

At 8.7, having a low blood level can cause you to become tired and weak. Your body might not have enough iron, which is necessary for feeling better. To increase your blood level take iron supplements and eat foods such as spinach and beans that are rich in iron. Also if your fever does not go away it would be good to see a healthcare provider who will help establish what is causing the fever so that you can receive appropriate treatment.

If you still have a headache, fever, and muscle aches after taking medicine, you might have malaria. The malaria parasite can sometimes resist certain drugs. You should see a doctor immediately so that they can change your treatment and make you feel better. Don't delay—get checked out as soon as possible.

I have fever and body pain before 4 day and yesterday I got blood test result WBC 2900 And neutrophils 71% I want know which type I have fever and which type medicine should be taken

Male | 24

You probably have bacte­ria making you sick. The blood tests found your white blood ce­lls are low. However, your ne­utrophils, which fight infection, are high. In short, you have an infe­ction. You need antibiotics from the doctor. Re­st up. Drink fluids. Take medicine e­xactly as told. Listen to the doctor's instructions carefully.

You fee­l worried about having HIV even with a ne­gative test. Our bodies some­times show symptoms like HIV without actually having it. Stress, infe­ctions, or other health issues can cause­ these symptoms. If you're conce­rned, talking to a doctor is wise to understand what's happening in your body be­tter.

Sir I have done Elisa for both antibody and antoge at 42 days which means 6 week … it is a protected sex for 5 min … I am anxious … my doctor told no need to worry .. it’s good result … I want ur opinion about that … that’s y I messeged you sir… actually that partner is also hiv negative at 22 days … but my anxiety said that she has hiv she had …

Male | 27

It is good that your ELISA test results at 42 days are negative, and your partner also tested negative at 22 days. Since you have protected sex, the risk of HIV transmission is very low. However, for your peace of mind, you should follow up with your doctor. Consulting a specialist in infectious diseases can help address your anxiety and provide further reassurance.

After delivery, I have anemia, low pressure, dizziness, weakness. It has been a year. I am taking iron and calcium tablets continuously. Nothing is happening. What to do now. Please advise.

Female | 22

You've been feeling exhausted, lightheaded, and nauseous after childbirth. These could be signs of anemia, which means your body doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells. Even though you are on iron and calcium tablets, they may not be enough. It's important to have a blood test to see if you need a different type of iron or if something else is causing your symptoms.

Good day doc, I noticed some traces of blood in my mucur. What could be the possible cause and solution

Male | 29

When you find some blood in mucus, it can indicate several ailments. Possible reasons could be a nosebleed, irritation by dry air, or an infection such as sinusitis. If you are facing a runny nose, pain in your face, or a sore throat, that could be a sign of an infection. Drinking a lot of water, using a humidifier, and visiting a doctor if it persists are the ways to go.

I am a 7 month old baby's breastfeeding mother. I had a c section delivery but even after 7 months my body weakness is not getting better. Sometime this weakness is fine and sometimes I feel very weak. Now since last 2 3 days I am feeling dizzy, having constipation, acidity and shortness of breath and my wrist and feet are also trembling sometimes. I thought this is anemic symptoms.

Female | 25

I think perhaps you’re showing signs of a lack of iron, which often occurs after having a baby. You might feel weak, lightheaded, out of breath or have trembling hands and feet. You could also get constipated, have heartburn or feel low. Eating red meat, spinach and lentils can help because they are high in this mineral. You might also need to take an iron supplement. But talk to your doctor to make sure that’s what it is and work out a plan for getting better.

A person with HIV cut his hand with a sharp object and after about 2 minute I cut my hand with it. Can I get HIV? it's just scratched with little blood?

Female | 34

A sharp obje­ct with blood from someone with HIV has a small chance of transmitting HIV if it cuts you. But a tiny scratch with little­ bleeding decre­ases the likelihood e­ven more. The risk is e­xtremely low! Howeve­r, watch for unusual symptoms like fever, e­xhaustion, or swollen lymph nodes as a precaution. If anything se­ems off, reach out to a doctor without delay.
