The normal platelet count is above 1.5, ie 1.5 lakh mm³.

It is quite normal for variations in WBC & Platelet counts in the course of a febrile illness: only thing is to watch for variations outside the normal ranges (usually the ones listed alongside the test results are not age-appropriate values)
