My platelet distribution width PDW is 8.9 FL as per my blood report which is below the normal range. My platelet to large cell ratio PLCR is low at 14.8 percent. Is this a cause for worry and should I consult a doctor?

These values are slightly low but not worrisome if total platelet count and rest of the blood parameters are normal. No specific treatment needed unless symptomatic.

Sir, I have pain in my head and neck, so I went to a general physician. He suggested a CBP. I have attached the blood report. My WBC is slightly high. Is this dangerous? How can I detect infection or disease in my body? Please guide me.

My blood report shows IgG positive, IgM negative, and NS1 negative. I have been having a fever for three days. Please clarify what this means for my dengue status.
