Is It Normal To Have Fluctuating Platelet Count While Having Dengue?
My sister is in the hospital for possible dengue. Her platelet counts seem to be fluctuating, increasing in the afternoon and lowering in the morning. Yesterday it was 21,000 per mcL and increased to 32,000 in the afternoon and decreased to 19,000 in the morning and returned to 37,000 this afternoon. Is this normal?
