Question
i was sick lately and my docter said that i had leucopani fever with e-coli in stomach.i know e-coli but what is leucopania fever.is it deadly ?

Answer
The leucopania (low white cell count) could have been the result of the e coli.  
Once a physician is aware of this condition - unless the cause is more severe and untreatable - it's likely to resolve once the underlying condition does.

You really should make your physician take the time to explain all this to you - it sounds like you might have been rushed and brushed off.  Remember, that doctor works for YOU when it's your visit.  Don't leave unless you have all the answers you need.

Seriously.  Just sit there and refused to be hurried out.  

You should have follow-up appointments and blood tests, cultures, whatever is deemed necessary until all e-coli is gone and your blood counts are within normal range.  

I hope you feel better and I hope your mind is more at ease now.

Expertise

I have lived it and survived it. I know every excuse, reason, thought, feeling and rationalization - and I'm going to be very honest in my advice.

Experience

I've lost (& gained)HUNDREDS of lbs over a lifetime, more than 30 years of "professional dieting". Presently a counselor for sufferers of eating disorders, a nutritional advisor and spiritual counselor (Reverend,doctor); I've been on every diet there is and used the most bizarre weight loss products you can imagine. I am FORMERLY obese, anorexic (several times), bulimic MOST of the time - and maintaining size 4, with no gimmicks, devices, programs, pills or supplements.

I currently investigate the diet industry on behalf of consumers who do not need to be ripped off while struggling to be healthy. I WILL expose them all and I WON'T be intimidated, bullied or bought. My advice is for cost-free options. I have nothing whatsoever to gain from my recommendation(s). I make no money from my website and I sell, promote, endorse NO diet/health products, programs or devices. You'll also never see me on the receiving end of a hidden camera report...but you can be assured, I won't quit until I've exposed those who are out to take advantage of you.

It's a matter of choices. We need to stop complicating things.
