Hi
As per the blood examination report, your son is having malaria. His platelet count is on the lower end of normal, in malaria platelets decrease and if not followed up might cause bleeding manifestations. Also the hemoglobin is low for his age. SGPT is raised, which is of concern. It would be better to keep him in observation until the counts improve, fever settles.
