Immune Thrombocytopenic : Some dengue patients’ platelet count falls, which is considered extremely dangerous. Having a platelet count of less than 50,000 can be fatal. This is why diet and proper treatment are recommended.
Apart from dengue, there is another disease in which the platelet count decreases. The name of this disease is Immune Thrombocytopenia. This disease occurs in the blood. Let us know its causes, symptoms and ways to avoid it…
Cause of immune thrombocytopenia
No exact cause of this disease has been found yet. Some experts believe that this disease occurs due to some disturbance in the immune system of the body. In this, the immune system of the body itself works to damage the platelets and reduces them.
How Immune Thrombocytopenia Is Diagnosed
This disease is detected by CBC and PS tests. In some cases, the patient gets affected by this disease after recovering from dengue. If a person does not have dengue, but the number of platelets in his body has fallen below 1 lakh or is continuously decreasing, then one should be careful. This can happen due to immune thrombocytopenia. Although this disease is not common, still one should get tested if its symptoms appear. Doctors control its symptoms with the help of medicines.
Symptoms of Immune Thrombocytopenia
1. Drop in platelet count without dengue
2. Small rashes on the skin
3. Bleeding from gums, mouth and nose
4. Formation of large bruises on the body
5. Wounds on the knee or elbow joint
6. Feeling tired all the time
7. Excessive bleeding during periods
How to Prevent Immune Thrombocytopenia
Since this disease is caused by a disorder in the immune system, there is no specific way to prevent it, but it can be prevented by strengthening the immune system. To increase the platelet count in the body, take medicines from the doctor and get treatment. This can easily control this disease.
