Hi, my platelet count is 85,000. Does this indicate dengue, or could it be a normal viral fever? I have attached my blood test report for reference.

Low platelets can occur in both dengue and viral fevers. Dengue should be ruled out with NS1 or IgM test if not already done. Monitor platelets every 1 to 2 days.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a DENGUE SEROLOGY RAPID (IgM AND NS1 ANTIGEN) - KA Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test
