A member asked:

What to do if i guess cmv infections cause a decrease in the no of platelets but will they also be related to a decrease in neutrophils?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not an issue for: Self diagnosis or treatment. Vast majority of CMV infections are sub-clinial or cause a self-limited flu like illness. If you have more than that, you need to seek care from your doctor.
