Sir/Madam, According to my latest blood test, Dengue NS1 is positive, and my platelet count is 60,000. Please advise how serious this is and what steps I should take.

Should I be concerned if my platelet count is 490?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Is my blood test report normal? My platelet count has been high in some tests and low in the last three values. My ESR is 8. Please explain whether this is normal or a cause for concern.
