I've been struggling with low hemoglobin levels for the past year, but I can't pinpoint what's causing it. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm really concerned about my mom who's 62. She doesn't have a fever or any other symptoms, but her platelet count dropped to 44k even though she tested negative for the NS1 Ag dengue test. Her doctor started her on 30mg of steroids, and her platelet count is now up to 87k. I'm worried about whether her bone marrow might not be working properly. Could it be possible that only her platelets are affected if her RBC and WBC levels are normal?

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's 55 and has been dealing with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura for years now. With everything going on, I'm wondering if it's safe for him to get the COVID vaccine. I've heard mixed things and just want to make sure it's okay for him to get vaccinated. Any advice?

Patients with Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) should consult with their healthcare provider before receiving the COVID vaccine. In general, individuals with ITP can receive the COVID vaccine, but it is important to monitor their platelet levels closely before and after vaccination. The vaccine brand and dosage can be determined by the healthcare provider based on the patient's individual health status and needs.

I recently did a random blood test because I was feeling kind of light-headed, and the results got me a bit worried. My neutrophil count is at 80%, lymphocytes are at 15%, and my total WBC count is 10500. I'm 18, so I'm not sure if these numbers are normal for someone my age. Could you help me understand what this might mean?
