Hi,your wbc count is low normal. and platelets count is low. there are many causes of low platelets count like simple viral infection, malaria, ITP, Leukemia, and many more. if you have persistent low count then go for bone marrow examination once. consult hematologist and search for the cause of your low platelets and then take treatment accordingly.
