The diagnostic examination results show that the patient's hemoglobin, hematocrit, and neutrophil levels are within normal ranges. However, the white blood cell count is above the normal range, which can occur during pregnancy to help counteract the decrease in IgG response and increased risk of infection. The lymphocyte count is below the normal range, indicating a loss of resistance to fight infections and increased susceptibility. The patient's blood type is A and screening for Hepatitis B was negative.

- 1. 30 V. DIAGNOSTIC EXAMINATION Date: September 05, 2012 HEMATOLOGY RESULT TEST RESULT REF.RANGES ANALYSIS Hgb 123 120-160g/l Normal Hct 38 37-47 Normal WBC count 17.1 5-10x10 Above normal range: Immunologic competency during pregnancy apparently decreases, probably to prevent a womans body from rejecting the fetus as if it were a transplanted organ. IgG production is particularly decrease, which can make a woman more prone to infection during pregnancy. A simultaneous increase in the WBC count may help to counteract the in IgG response. (MCN, pillitteri, pp.242, 6th edition) Neutrophils 0.87 0.40-0.70 Above normal range: - high level of stress is placed on the body; -acute bacterial infection; -acute hemorrhage; Lymphocytes 0.13 0.20-0.40 Below normal range: a low lymphocyte count indicates that the bodys resistance to fight infection has been substantially lost and one may become susceptible to certain types of infection.
