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.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Sir, in my report, my platelet count is 50,000/cu.mm, WBC is 4,000, and RBC is 4,000. Please tell me if this is a critical case? I have shown this to a doctor, but they did not provide any advice.
