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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I received my CBC report today, and my blood platelets have increased from 100,000 to 135,000 in three days. I do not have fever, and I am eating and drinking well. The only issue is that I feel chills. Could this chill be due to low platelets? Despite this, I am performing 3 rounds of push ups (15 each) with 30 second rest. Please advise if the chills are related to platelet count.

Sir/Madam, According to my latest blood test, Dengue NS1 is positive, and my platelet count is 60,000. Please advise how serious this is and what steps I should take.
