Does decreasing hemoglobin during typhoid indicates blood cancer?
Patient: hello sir,i was having typhhoid for 10 days and at that time my hemoglobin was 7.6 and anisopoiklocytosis macrocytosis and hypochromia.so my doctor gave me some iron b12 folic acid medicine.but my hemoglobin is still decreasing and reached 7.2. is this a symptom of blood cancer..???? Doctor: Hi. I dont think this is symptom of blood cancer. Low Hemoglobin in your case is due to deficiency of iron and vitamin B12/folic acid deficiency. It take months to recover. Repeat your hemoglobin level after one month of treatment. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
