I have been told that my platelets are marginally low and I have little red pinprick dots on my arm and tummy. I an a 31 year old non smoker but have had Pneumonia in Sep 2011 and again in Jan 2012. What could be the possible cause of the low platelets?
In many cases of pneumonia there appears to be some platelet deficiency. The red pinprick is because of marginally low platelets. There are some study showing low platelets in smokers. So do not smoke. Thnx
