Brief Answer:
There is no place for concern.
Detailed Answer:
Hello! I have been through your question.
Related your concern you should know that usually viral diseases like fifth's disease and mononucleosis could cause thrombocytopenia — low count of platelets.

Furthermore there is no place for concern.
I hope my answer helps you.
