Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Good morning, as you mentioned here that you are suffering from viral infection form past 5 days, but negative for dengue and typhoid.
As per your blood reports your Platelet count is low along with low total leucocyte count. So here what you can do is REPEAT THESE TESTS AFTER 2-3 DAYS, As this might be due to viral infection suppressing your bone marrow, in that case it has to return back to normal once your infection subsides.
But if you are having LOW PLATELE COUNT AND LOW TLC (LEUCOPENIA) FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, then it indicates
- Chronic infection
- Any disorders in Bone Marrow
- Any Medicines if you are taking which is affecting bone marrow,
- Autoimmune disorders
- Even Cancer,
So it is important to know the underlying condition if you are having low Platele count and low tlc count from a long time.
It is important to look for any bleeding tendencies, how often you get fatigued, your bone density, and to evaluate for serology. So it will be better if you consult if your blood reports shows same or decreased values in future.
Next Steps
Repeat these blood tests every 2-3 days for 2 weeks and later monthly.
CBC
PERIPHERAL SMEAR
LFT
RFT
PT, BT, CT, INR
If there is low platelet count (thrombocytopenia)and low tlc (leucopenia) for long period of time then it's better to do a BONE MARROW BIOPSY.

Dear Patient,
A drop in platelet count (110,000) and low TLC (2,400) with leucopenia can occur in some viral infections due to the immune response and the virus's effect on the bone marrow. However, it is essential to monitor these trends closely to rule out any underlying complications.
Although your dengue and typhoid tests are negative, other causes, such as viral infections or immune-mediated issues, might need consideration. Persistent leucopenia and thrombocytopenia may warrant further investigation, including a repeat complete blood count (CBC), peripheral smear, and possibly a bone marrow study if indicated.
It is crucial to evaluate your clinical condition, including fatigue, bleeding tendencies, or fever patterns, to decide the next steps. Delaying care might lead to complications if there is an underlying severe condition.
I recommend scheduling a private consultation with me for a detailed assessment and tailored treatment plan. You can reach me directly at eight-zero-zero-nine-eight-two-one-three-three-two. Let's ensure you receive the best care possible!

Leukopenia is absolutely normal during a viral fever.
No need to worry, dengue Ns1 or IgM usually test positive after 3-4 days of infection.
Ur platelet is a bit on the low normal side.
If ur are experinecing amy symptoms of dengue, like intense bone pain or petechial rashes on body, then get tested for IgM on 7th day.
If not, then absolutely not to worry, as viral fever can last anywhere from 3 to 12 days.
