What to do if your baby's white blood cell count is high

Some babies have problems with their bodies, so they need to pay attention to take appropriate measures to treat them in time to ensure their health and avoid putting their bodies in danger due to physical problems. Especially, the baby's body is very fragile, so you need to pay attention to this problem. So what should I do if my baby's white blood cell count is high? Let me introduce it to you below.

1. Peripheral blood count

The white blood cell count is mostly normal or slightly increased, and the lymphocyte count is relatively increased. When there are complications, the white blood cell count may increase, and leukemoid reactions may occasionally occur.

2. Serum and urine amylase determination

90% of patients have mild to moderate elevations in serum amylase and elevated urinary amylase, which aids in diagnosis. The degree of increase in amylase is often proportional to the degree of parotid swelling, but its increase may also be related to lesions of the pancreatic and small intestinal serous enzyme glands.

3. Serological examination

① Neutralizing antibody test: A low titer such as 1:2 indicates an active infection.

In recent years, the gel hemolysis test has been used, which is basically consistent with the neutralization test and is simpler and faster than the detection of neutralizing antibodies, but the method still needs further improvement.

② Complement fixation test: It has auxiliary diagnostic value for suspected cases. If the titer of double serum (early stage of the disease and 2-3 weeks) increases by more than 4 times, or the titer of one serum reaches 1:64, it has diagnostic significance. If conditions permit, it is advisable to measure S antibody and V antibody at the same time. An increase in S antibody indicates a recent infection, while an increase in V antibody but no increase in S antibody only indicates a past infection.

③Hemagglutination inhibition test: The amniotic fluid and allantoic fluid of chicken embryos infected with the virus can cause the chicken's red blood cells to agglutinate. The convalescent serum of mumps patients has a strong inhibitory effect on agglutination, while the inhibitory effect of early serum is weaker. If the titer of two measurements differs by more than 4 times, it is positive.

4. Virus Isolation

In early cases, mumps virus can be isolated from saliva, urine, blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and other tissues such as the brain and thyroid. The procedures are rather complicated and there are currently no conditions for its widespread implementation.

5. Urine

When the kidneys are affected, proteinuria, red and white blood cells, etc. may appear in the urine, and even changes in urine similar to nephritis may occur.

The above is my opinion on this issue that I introduced to you. If the baby has the above problems, then the baby needs to pay attention to take appropriate methods of treatment in time to ensure the health of the body and avoid the baby's physical health problems causing danger to the baby. Finally, I wish the baby a speedy recovery.
