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?

A platelet count of 3.6 lakh (if units are 3.6 x 100,000) is normal. However, if the units are 3.6 x 1,000 (i.e. 3,600), this is critically low and needs urgent attention. Please confirm the units and consult your doctor immediately.

My recent routine blood test shows a platelet count of 130,000. As per my test report from August, it was 140,000. In the meantime, I had a slipped disc, which is now fine. Is the declining platelet count related to that, or could it be a sign of another problem? I have attached my hematology report for reference.

Sir, in my report, my platelet count is 50,000/cu.mm, WBC is 4,000, and RBC is 4,000. Please tell me if this is a critical case? I have shown this to a doctor, but they did not provide any advice.

What does it mean when my WBC is two and platelets 98?
