What happens if platelet count falls to 40,000?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I suffered from body pain, semi liquid loose motion, body weakness, and sometimes fever in the evening. My blood report says that my blood platelets are 1.10 lakhs. Please give your opinion on that?
