Since yesterday, rashes have started all over my body and I also have fever. I vomited once this morning. I consulted a physician and got a blood report which shows platelet count 3.6 lakhs. Should not this be a serious issue?

A platelet count of 3.6 lakh (if units are 3.6 x 100,000) is normal. However, if the units are 3.6 x 1,000 (i.e. 3,600), this is critically low and needs urgent attention. Please confirm the units and consult your doctor immediately.

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.

Is my blood test report normal? My platelet count has been high in some tests and low in the last three values. My ESR is 8. Please explain whether this is normal or a cause for concern.

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.
