Question 1

My mother had a fever 5 days ago. She was tested for viral fever, which was negative. Her fever subsided in 3 days, but her platelet count has been dropping daily:
Day 1: WBC 1800, Platelets 1.9 lakh
Day 2: WBC 3000, Platelets 1.37 lakh
Day 3: WBC 3900, Platelets 1.11 lakh
Today: WBC 4800, Platelets 0.84 lakh

Her WBC is now normal, but the platelet count continues to decrease. She received an injection of Tazira Lyo 4.5 mg today.

Should we admit her to the hospital? What action should we take?

Question 2

My mother has started developing patches on her skin since the last couple of days, and they are increasing day by day with itching. Yesterday we did a blood report which shows WBC 11,800 and platelets 486,000. Please suggest?

Question 3

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?

What happens if one's blood platelet count reaches zero?

Dangerous internal bleeding can occur
