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

View allI recently did an NS1 dengue test, which came out negative. Unsatisfied with the result, I repeated the test at a different clinic, and it showed a Dengue NS1 Antigen ratio of 3.5. All other parameters, such as platelet count and blood pressure, are normal. Can someone explain what this result means in detail, and what steps I should take next?
