What is the difference between a CBC and a CMP test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Since yesterday, rashes have started all over my body and I also have fever. I vomited once this morning. I consulted a physician and got a blood report which shows platelet count 3.6 lakhs. Should not this be a serious issue?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing fever that comes and goes with chills. After taking paracetamol and antibiotics, the fever subsides. My blood test shows platelets at 1.6 lakh/cmm. Could you please advise if this could be dengue, or what might be causing these symptoms?
