A 9 month old male child has h/o recurrent cough and fever since almost 5 months.he was admitted in an institute 5 months before for 10 -12 days for cough,coryza,fever.but symptoms continued even after discharge. His CBC showed very high wbc count throughout near about 25000 on discharge.After a few days he was again readmitted in another hospital for five days.since then he has almost always been on some antibiotic for the last 3-4 months.xray and CBC shown above were done after first discharge 5 months before.No murmur on examination. no h/o breathlessness.Question is-1-Can this be due to CYSTIC FIBROSIS or some underlying congenital lung anomaly.Should we do C.T chest as xray is not showing any major changes. 2-can some congenital immune deficiency be suspected in this child.3-?Pertussis(just because of leucocytosis)
