Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Visceral leishmaniasis can affect the spleen, liver, and bone marrow. It can also cause low red blood cell count, low white blood cell count, and low platelet count.
A normal platelet count is between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets per microliter (one-millionth of a liter, abbreviated mcL). The average platelet count is 237,000 per mcL in men and 266,000 per mcL in women. A platelet count below 150,000 per mcL is called thrombocytopenia, while a platelet count over 450,000 is called thrombocytosis. Platelets seem to have a large backup capacity: blood typically still clots normally as long as the platelet count is above 50,000 per mcL (assuming no other problems are present). Spontaneous bleeding doesn't usually occur unless the platelet count falls to 10,000 or 20,000 per mcL. If you have listed yours without zeros, it is high (thrombocytosis). If there are no zeros, I am surprised you could ask this question.
Platelets don't decrease during every kind of fever. It is decreased particularly in Dengue Fever. The major cause of low platelet count is the destruction of platelet mediated by the dengue virus or the antibodies that are secreted in response to virus infection. Also, during dengue is the suppression of bone marrow by the dengue virus (The bone-marrow is the site of the haematopoeisis, blood cells formation).
A low white cell count usually is a sign of a thyroid problem. A doctor can treat is with certain medications which will bring your white cell count back up.
One way of increasing the platelet count is taking medication for the blood. This is very effective medicine but there are also some situations that patient are not allowable to take this medicine. Here is the name of the medicine; YU NAN PA YAO... this is good for hypovolemia (hemorrhage), dengue fever patients & some types of diseases that causes the platelet to decrease. by the way this is a Chinese medicine and you can buy this in any Chinese pharmacy.. Note... Do not give this to any hypertensive patient. Just read the dosage of YU NAN PA YAW medicine in additional to your information.

Is my platelet count too low at 88
A low platelet count generally puts an individual at high risk of bleeding, or hemorrhage. The underlying cause of a low platelet count could be several diseases ranging from a something benign to HIV or leukemia.
no
yes
This is medical terminology for a low platelet count condition.
It's abnormal (low).
Platelet parameters on PDW being low is indicative of the probability of increased bleeding. When a platelet count is low, a person may be asymptomatic until injury or surgery.
no, it doesn't mean that there is HIV
low wbc count depicts immunosuppressed patient,with a compromised deffence mechanism,low platelet count means thrombocytopaenia where the patient has a bleeding disorder resulting to excessive blood loss incase of an injury
The blood testing is to monitor the level of medicine in your system. And a low CBC or low calcium levels can be a problem.
