So, my dad is 59 and he's had this high d-dimer level at 1.82. He got over COVID about 47 days back. Just after he got discharged, we checked, and the d-dimer was at 0.5, but now it's jumped to 1.82. Plus, his white blood cells went down from 10,000 to 4,000 over these weeks. Is this something we should be really worried about? Can you suggest any treatment or ideas on what's going on?

I've been dealing with dengue and was in the hospital about 10 days ago. My platelet count was really low, around 68,000, but by the time I was discharged, it had gone up to 1.2 lakh. Since then, I've been on medication and doing regular CBC checks. The numbers have been climbing quite a bit: 2.5 lakh at the first check, 4.28 lakh at the second, and today it's at 5.1 lakh. Is it okay for my platelets to be this high, or should I be worried about it?

Your increasing platelet count, now at 5.1 lakh, after recovering from dengue fever, is likely a rebound effect, which is a common phenomenon after the body has fought off the infection;

I had a blood test about 3 or 4 days ago and just got the report today. My lymphocytes count is at 44, while it was 14 back on April 25th. Should I be worried about this change?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm a bit concerned because my lymphocyte count is at 49 and monocyte count is at 1. Is this within the normal range or should I be worried about any health issues?
