What Is The Reason For Low Platelet Count During Typhoid Fever?
hi doc, what is the reason for low platelet count during typhoid fever? how does the number like 35,000 platelet count & 10.7 Hb sound for 7th day of typhoid (blood work confirming on 6th day)? can there be serious problems if this is coupled with something like thyroid?
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows. 1. Typhoid is a disease which can involve multiple organs. 2. Involvement of bone marrow can lead to low platelet count. 3. Needs to be watched closely as risk of severe bleeding is present. After Treatment of typhoid, within a week platelet count will recover. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
