My mother has started developing patches on her skin since the last couple of days, and they are increasing day by day with itching. Yesterday we did a blood report which shows WBC 11,800 and platelets 486,000. Please suggest?

Raised WBC and platelets suggest ongoing inflammation or infection. Skin rashes with itching may be due to allergies or dermatitis. Consult a dermatologist and consider allergy tests or skin biopsy if needed.

I need to have a double check on a blood test CBC. My baby is 10 months old. The platelet count is 800,000. Earlier a UTI was diagnosed and the baby was on antibiotics.

In my report, the platelet distribution width is 16.2 percent and the mean platelet volume is 7.2 fL. Can I know if there is any problem?
