I am from USA living in Mexico. I was diagnosed with dengue fever this week. First lab work Wednesday showed leukocyte count at 3,100 and platlet at 130,000. 2 days later, yesterday, leukocyte count is 3050 and platlet at 105,000. Is this normal for it to go down while I should be healing?? At what numbers should I be concerned? New lab work being done Monday. THANKS!
Hi, Thanks for your question on ChatDoctorI do understand your concerns per your clinical history you are treated for Dengue fever and your platelet & WBC count is low. It transpires in every case of Dengue. So nothing to be apprehensive at all. Do check your blood pressure if low you can verbalize with your doctor about blood transfusion. Hope that helps
