My husband had small MI admitted to hospital. Developed Pulmonary Oedema - recovered then badly dehydrated (given no food or fluids for 6 days. ot fluids for him. ACE Inhibitor withdrawn & diuretics then 4 days late also digoxin isorsorbide mononitrate and dipyradmoile - in fact all his hefart medication. He died two days after this. Blood results- High & worsening WBC concomintant with withdrawal of medication. Said he had infection but Blood Culture test negative - no proof of infection.
Did he die of the lack of medication and inflammation caused. There was a High neutrophil count but low lymphocyte, low Bicarbonate and prescribed xygen not given. He had petechial haemorrhages on face, and foam at mouth. Was never mobilised. No-one, neither a doctor or a nurse attended him on night he died. o-one told me despite my asking what his treatment or condition was. His hospital in-stay was 16 days
and he suffered from dementia and was in a room on his own. I was told he died of bronchopneumonia of which there was no sign. I am sure he died from the unnecessary withdrawal of his medicines therefore a pulmonary oedema/heart failure. What do you think?

What does it mean when your Neutrophils are high and Lymphs are low?
To keep this real simple, the neutrophil count goes up for bacterial infection. Lymphocytes increase for viral infections so if you have a high neutrophil count, you prabably have some kind of bacterial infection, it can range from very mild to very serious, of coarse if you do have an infection, you likely have othersymptoms to tell you exactly where and what you have.
