Hi, my friend, a 30 year old female, has a platelet count of 126,000, with no signs of infection. Is this normal? Should she undergo any additional tests to identify the underlying cause, and if so, which tests are recommended?

A platelet count of 126,000 is a little below normal, but if there are no signs of infection, bleeding, or illness, its usually not urgent. Sometimes, this can happen after a mild viral illness or due to vitamin deficiency. Its a good idea to repeat the CBC after 1 to 2 weeks, and if it stays low, more tests can be done to find the cause.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a PERIPHERAL SMEAR Test

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?
