Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Your father was prescribed Ecosprin and Hydroxyurea due to a very high platelet count. Now the platelet count is within the limit. So, no need to continue Hydroxyurea.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Your child has B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In that case, to induce remission, induction chemotherapy should be given to restore normal bone marrow. After induction, maintenance chemotherapy is also to be given. Your total count might be low because of chemotherapy, but your daughter was having 87% blasts, so chemotherapy should be given.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. According to your history, ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura) might come under suspicion. But you do not have ITP, as bone marrow is normal, and megakaryocytes are not showing any sign of ITP. Check for hypersplenism by USG (ultrasound) abdomen investigation. Second, rule out dengue by IgM dengue testing (ELISA or card test).
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have seen the attached report (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The platelet count is very low. So he is having severe thrombocytopenia. The dengue is negative.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. You have recurrent leg vein thrombosis (the formation of a blood clot inside the blood vessel). The cause is genetic, that is, a prothrombin gene mutation. So, the prothrombin thrombosis is the main problem. I suggest you try taking Rivaroxaban or other anticoagulant drugs as a prophylactic drug if recurrent thrombosis is the problem.
Hello,Welcome to icliniq.com.For the petechial rash, you need to investigate with a full CBC to check the platelet count. Low platelet count is one of the causes of such a rash. I suggest you investigate with SGPT and ultrasonography of the abdomen to check for liver disease.Your raised APTT is a surprising result and points towards some coagulation deficiency (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Your report is suggestive of microcytic hypochromic anemia. Do not worry about that. It is a treatable condition. With the recovery of the hemoglobin level by tablet, your PS (peripheral smear) will revert to normal.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. Usually for thrombotic events, a warfarin-like anticoagulant drug is prescribed with INR monitoring. Duration of therapy can be up to six months (only if there is a high risk of thrombosis; then lifelong anticoagulant is given). So for these six months while on warfarin, you can delay intercourse if possible.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Hosts have two types of immunity against all types of organisms: natural and acquired immunity.
