Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.
Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query
It is not about
Dengue only. Platelet fluctuation happens to everyone daily. In fact this dengue scare has made people more wary about platelets.
None of the blood components in that CBC are the same. They will vary within minutes of each other. In fact the counters have also showed variation in the count, and this I have done personally- took two a sample, divided into two, and did the tests in two different labs- got 2 different results.
The point is that there are many things that judge the number of counts. Its not just about someone having dengue.
So relax. Its ok. And as long as he does not bleed, platelet counts do not hurt
