QUERY REGARDING DENGUE AND ITP DISORDER
Are the patients suffering from ITP blood disorder with 1lakh platelets at a higher risk from Dengue Fever than other normal patients. I have heard hematologist from AIIMS saying that 1 lakh is the "new normal minimum limit" which earlier was 1.5 lakhs with maximum limit at 4.5 lakhs. But I still feel that 1 lakh is still a case of ITP because when a patient with 3 lakh platelets on contracting dengue suffers low platelet count where his platelet count reaches to 20K then patients with ITP have no chance at all to survive, this is what I feel. Kindly share your valuable medical opinion concerning the same.

Your question is ambiguous. One lac platelet count doesn't mean that a person has ITP. Nor does one lac platelet count mean that a person is more susceptible to Dengue. The only thing is that an ITP case is starting with a disadvantageous position. He is more likely to reach a stage where he needs platelet infusion.
Every patient of Dengue behaves in a different manner.
