Low fever and high ESR

Hi,

My father is currently suffering from low fever and very high ESR.

He is 61 years old, diabetic. He exercises regularly and maintains a very healthy life style.

Aboout 3 weeks back he was down with fever and body aches and the initial lab report showed signs of chikun gunya with some dengue fever antibodies and his blood platelets count was down, 3 days after medication and rest his platelet count went up to healthy levels and body pains subsided compltely leaving him with low fever ie., 99 F to 100 F and very high ESR.

The doctor made him undergo all the possible diagnostic tests which included complete blood work report, abdominal scan, Tuberculosis test and sinus xray.

The complete blood work report indicated negative of any infections or abnormalities.

Abdomen scan showed no abnormalities.

Tuberculosis test reported a false positive because of BCG vaccination , in this case our doctor sent for a more advanced Tuberculosis test to Ranbaxy Mumbai and the report from Ranbaxy indicated no active Tuberculosis infection.

The facial sinus xray indicated that he has a sinus congestion and a possible sinus infection for which he is currently being administered a 5 day course of Garamycin.

Our doctor says that my father is clinically very healthy as there is not indication of any infection or inflamation except his sinus but the strange thing is about the high ESR count which is around 180 per 60 seconds.

please help us with your expert advice and any possible homoeopathic remedies.

thank you

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Has he any difficulty when passing urine and does he have a desire to do so often?

Suggest he does a Blood test for PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) and a Urine test with ABST if necessary and report results.

What drugs does he take for Diabetes?

He did not mention about any difficulty in passing Urine or haveing frequent urge to pass urine.

After the battery of tests done last week which also included his prostrate health, the report/doctor mentioned that there is nothing wrong with his prostrate.

with reference to his diabetic drugs I shall get the details from him.

thank you

When a male patient 61 years old presents a low grade fever with high ESR and all tests prove negative especially after a scan and an X'ray the Prostate can be suspected. I note that you indicated that the doctor confirmed that 'there is nothing wrong with his prostate' but you did not indicate his PSA level.

My advice is that he consults a Urologist and have an internal examination of his Prostate with a scan to rule this out.

It is possible that your doctors concentrated on his general health status but failed to consider the possibility of his Prostate being the cause of his low grade fever.

Please note that I am not medically qualified but I do have some experience in both Medical and Homeopathic matters which have often enabled me to help others to a better status of health.

Also what is his Blood Sugar level in the morning before he takes his drugs?
