My father has easily bruising skin during a particular season. There is no pain or itching. We have done a blood report which shows a low platelet count that may indicate a purpura like condition.

Easy bruising and low platelet count could point to a condition like ITP or a temporary reaction to an infection. If the platelet count stays low consistently, your father may need a more detailed blood and liver workup. It is best to consult a hematologist to understand the cause and decide whether treatment or observation is required. Try to maintain adequate Hb levels.

I tested COVID 19 positive. After completing about 15 days of isolation, I had a Complete Blood Count test to check if everything was alright. I would like to know if my report is normal or if I need any medications or further tests. Please find my report attached.
