Hello
Thanks for asking a question at Healthcaremagic
Now, WBC rise can happen in any infection happening in the body
About platelets, dengue is supposed to cause decrease platelet counts and it can decrease to a dangerous levels that can cause bleeding under skin
Joint pain, headache, fever all are in favour of dengue,
You need an immediate attention.
Go to the hospital, get tested for dengue and other fevers and get immediate medical attention.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards
