[mo_lives]

My wife is 8 months pregnant. her doctor asked her to get a full blood count. the results all can fine exept WBC (14730) and ESR (66). Doctor says its too high. is this correct or is it normal. please help


This discussion is related to ESR Levels.

HPV is a virus.  WBC elevation wouldn't come from a virus, nor would high esr counts.  I hope her doctor is following up.

Good luck,

I have never heard of a relation between ESR levels (I'm assuming this means erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and HPV or any other STD for that matter.  I did come across an article online that says, "Moderately elevated ESR occurs with inflammation, but also with anemia, infection, pregnancy, and old age."  I would follow up with your doctor to see what possible causes could be.
