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?

Can lymphoma be detected in a blood test?

No but a CBC can determine if the platelet count and/or white blood cell count are low, which may indicate that lymphoma is present in the bone marrow and/or blood.
