Platelet count: Some dengue patients have low platelet count, which is considered very dangerous. A platelet count of less than 50,000 can be fatal. That is why diet and proper treatment are recommended.
Apart from dengue, there is another disease in which the platelet count decreases. The name of this disease is immune thrombocytopenia.
Causes of immune thrombocytopenic
No specific cause of this disease is known yet. This disease occurs in the blood. Some experts believe that this disease is caused by some disturbance in the body's immune system. In this, the body's immune system itself works to damage the platelets and reduce them.
What is immune thrombocytopenic?
This disease can be identified by CBC and PS test. In some cases, after recovering from dengue, the patient gets infected with this disease.
If a person does not have dengue, however, if the number of platelets in the body falls below 1 lakh or keeps decreasing continuously, then one should be alert.
This disease is not common, but if symptoms appear, one should get tested. Doctors control its symptoms with the help of medicines.
Symptoms of Immune Thrombocytopenia
1. Low platelet count even without dengue
2. Formation of small spots on the skin
3. Bleeding from gums, mouth and nose
4. Large injury marks on the body
5. Bruises on the knee or elbow
6. Feeling tired all the time
7. Excessive bleeding during periods
Treatment
This disease is caused by a disturbance in the immune system, so there is no specific way to prevent it, but this disease can be avoided by strengthening the immune system. It is important to take medicine and get proper treatment from a doctor to increase the number of platelets in the body. This helps us to overcome this disease easily.
