Are The Platelets Level Dangerous Due To Dengue Fever?
My son is 16 and has sickle cell trait. He also was diagnosed with dengue fever and last blood tests showed platelets at 75,000 count. Because of the sickle cell trait, is this level a dangerous one or we should wait for a 50,000 count to hospitalize?
