Hi Shakil,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Widal test is positive and it is suggestive of Typhoid fever.
But platelet count is usually decreased in viral fevers such as Dengue fever.
Nothing to worry as your symptoms have improved and platelets raised to normal count.
And these test reports has to be clinically correlated with your symptoms and signs by the doctor.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
