blood in urine, low WBC count, fever

[SDC879]

I have a 7 year old niece who has been running a fever on and off for a couple of weeks. She's at the hospital now and the doctors say she has blood in her urine and her white blood cell count is really low (1000).  Does anyone have any type of suggestion as to what it could possibly be???

Symptoms
By Mayo Clinic staff

Signs and symptoms of mononucleosis may include:

    Fatigue
    Weakness
    Sore throat, perhaps a strep throat that doesn't get better with antibiotics
    Fever
    Swollen lymph nodes in your neck and armpits
    Swollen tonsils
    Headache
    Skin rash
    Loss of appetite
    Soft, swollen spleen
    Night sweats

The virus typically has an incubation period of four to eight weeks, although in young children this period may be shorter. Signs and symptoms such as fever and sore throat usually lessen within a couple of weeks, although fatigue, enlarged lymph nodes and a swollen spleen may last for a few weeks longer.

Thanks for your response.  The doctors are leaning towards mono.  There's no way to tell for sure (they say??? although that sounds kind of ridiculous) but that's what they're almost sure it is.

It sounds like it may be a UTI or kidney infection is she on anti biotics?
