Yes, rubella virus can affect platelet count, leading to thrombocytopenia (low platelet count). This is particularly observed in congenital rubella syndrome, where the virus causes various hematological issues, including decreased platelet production. The impact on platelet count is usually transient and resolves as the infection resolves. However, in some cases, it may lead to more severe complications, particularly in infants.

What is the Platelet count with dengue virus?
The fever is caused by mosquito bites. Mosquito acts as a carrier of the Dengue Virus. The virus's main effect is on the PLATELET production. Normally a platelet in our body lasts for about 5 to 10 days and the body replenishes them when required. This virus DESTROYS THE BODY's CAPACITY TO PRODUCE NEW PLATELETs (during the period it is effective). The PLATELET count for a normal person varies from 150,000 - 250,000 per μl (micro litre = mm3 or cubic millimetres) of blood. On getting infected a patient's PLATELET COUNT STARTS FALLING. A PLATELET count BELOW 100,000 per μl (mm3) is ALARMING - immediate medical attention is required. A PLATELET count BELOW 50,000 can be FATAL. Note: A fall in platelet count PREVENTS FORMATION OF CLOTS - and this leads to HAEMORRHAGE - which results in both INTERNAL & EXTERNAL BLEEDING - once bleeding starts the situation is almost IRRECOVERABLE.

The rubella virus. Rubella is also known as German measles as it was first described by German scientists.
Why are the platelets incorporated with the life of a person with dengue?
Infected RBC trigger platelet to produce PF4 protein, which activate monocyte (Macrophage) to clear platelet from circulation by sequestration in spleen. which leads to high production of platelet (so giant platelet ) and decreased platelet on smear. I M Patel. 9004034340
