Anemia: He may have an iron deficiency anemia. A low platelet count and blood count in a 14 month old boy can have many causes. Viral infections, genetic diseases, medications, infections, lymphomas or leukemias are some of them. He needs a complete physical exam and it is possible a bone marrow biopsy may need to be done.
