General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Rashes over the body could be due to allergic reaction or viral infection. Presently, platelet count of 1.5 lakhs is less, but not worrying.
Dengue fever typically presents with high fever, headache, tiredness and hemorrhage. But in some, rashes can appear first following other symptoms.
Dengue test is negative during the first 3 days of development of symptoms.
Hence, to make sure that it is not Dengue, kindly get your blood checked again for Dengue Antigen-Antibody and Platelet count. In case it is indicative of Dengue, you need to get admitted and treated accordingly.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
