Question

What does ESR 40 mean? if someone have a bacterial infection on face due to acne. Is it a serious case or a normal one?

Answer 1

ESR means erythrocyte sedimentation rate!!! Acne is not a serious issue during teenage but bacterial infection can be treated!!!!

Answer 2

The ESR may be elevated >100 mm/hr in painful thyroiditis. A normal ESRexcludes the diagnosis of active subacute granulomatous thyroiditis. ... In patients with recurrent subacute thyroiditis the ESR may be <40 mm/hr in up to one-third of the patients.
Acenes' infections are serious in the danger triangle of our face that's nose, on other parts of face they aren't so much harmful, but still should be taken cared.
