My daughter ( 4 years old) encounter an acute viral infection 6 weeks ago with an elavated tempreture that last 2 days. Her CBC show a WBC count to be reduced ( 3.3k/ul) and also her platelets count is reduced ( 102 with platelets aggregates). Her RBC count is within the normal range but her hemoglobin content is slightly decreased. A week after we did another CBC test, and her WBC and platelets count return to normal ( 5.5 k/ul for WBC, and 257 for platelets).>Last week she encountered another viral infection of a common cold I think that have mild symptoms without fever. Her CBC show again a low WBC count (3.3 k/ul), normal platelets count ( 202), and normal RBC count.What could be happening. I am frightened. Is it normal to have such counts after infection. Could it be a sign of a serious desease. Please help
no not a sign of serious disease, it occurs general after an episode of viral infection. And your decrease in the WBC count and platelets are not much significant. Just relax it happens routinely with viral infection. Take treatment of that and wait for sometimes it will come back to the normal.
