Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Your blood test reports are suggestive of abnormalities which indicate to a disease leading to consumption of platelets may be dengue but it can be due to malaria, severe infections reaching in blood stream.
Dengue is prominent possibility and must be assessed by a local physician and you should control the fever, take balanced diet and ensure hydration.
Regular counts of platelets is advisable.
You can get the dengue serology for confirmation.
Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any questions I will be happy to answer.
Please close the query if you have no other questions.
Wish you a good health.

Hello and welcome sir.

The low leucocyte count and drop in platelet count is quite typical for typhoid so I would advice a widal test for the same. Please request your doctor for the required test.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
