Question

Jasper is a 7-year-old boy who has had flu-like symptoms for several weeks. It was mild at first, but his parents noticed that he was getting worse. They took him to his pediatrician last week, but he was sent home with suggestions to use OTC medication to treat his symptoms while his body recovered from what appeared to be a mild infection. Jasper appears weak, has lost 3-4 pounds in the last month, and has been complaining of headaches. Jasper’s parents have now brought him back to the clinic, and another physician orders a CBC.
