A member asked:

What should i do if my tlc level and platelets level is low. i didn't get any chemotherapy nor any congenital bone marrow disease. furthermore i have cough with sputum , fever and body aches. my hb level is normal?

You said your WBC and Platelet count is low but Hb is OK: we need to know exact numbers because there is a wide range of what is considered normal. So "low" is a relative term. The most common cause of abnormal test is a lad error, so I would recommend a repeat of your blood counts and send us the exact numbers from both reports. Sometimes a virus illness like Flu can cause low blood counts tempor

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. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, it would have helped had you provided the actual numbers rather than low. Wish you good health!
