A member asked:
Is is possible to have no petechiae and a low platelet count?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it is possible: It depends on how low your platelet count is. Ptechiae ( tiny red dot on the skin ) usually occurs when your platelet goes down significantly low- below 50 k. When your platelet goes down only slightly or moderately -likely, you will not have ptechiae.
