In my report, the platelet distribution width is 16.2 percent and the mean platelet volume is 7.2 fL. Can I know if there is any problem?

Both values are slightly outside the usual range but not necessarily alarming. A low MPV may be seen in some platelet disorders or mild infections. If you have no bleeding or clotting issues, it is not urgent. Please consult a doctor to interpret it in the context of your full blood count and symptoms.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, my wife has a 7 months pregnancy and last week she suffered from fever. We consulted the doctor and took the medicines but a couple of days later her body filled with red rashes. We have gone through the CBP Dengue and other tests and the result of Dengue NS1 antigen is positive. I have attached the blood report. Could you please suggest the food and medicines?
