What does it mean to have a low blood platelet count of 90? i had bronchitis 2 weeks ago and took bactrim.

Repeat test: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, Either the infection or drug reaction could cause low platelet count. You should consult your doctor about repeating the test in 2-6 weeks.
