Usually, leukopenia will be detected in CBC when suffering from dengue.WBC will initially decrease and not increase

My father has easily bruising skin, especially in a particular season. There is no pain or itching. We have done a blood report, which shows a low platelet count, which may indicate a purpura-like condition.

Hi, my son has been suffering from ITP with low platelet count for the last four years. He is currently 13 years old. He was given MABTAS in 2015, which improved his platelet count, but the problem has resurfaced one month ago?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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.
