What Causes Fever With Low Platelet Levels?
Viral infections cause high fever,low platelets not associated with Sjogren
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
Viral infections can cause low platelet level.
However, viral infections are accompanied by fever, tiredness, weakness, generalised body ache and decreased appetite.
Fever in viral is often above 100 degree Fahrenheit.
A platelet count of 105 is low, however, not low enough to cause any complication.
Low platelet count may or may be associated with Sjogren syndrome.
I suggest you to repeat platelet count after 1-2 months.
If the count further falls down, you may need to consult a hematologist else there is nothing to worry.
If you have more queries, I will be glad to answer.
Thanks and take care
