Hi if the rash and bruising is back I would presume the count had fallen as the petechia is a sign of low platelets . I would get a count taken . Hope this helps
Yes that's what I thought. I hope this makes sense but I'm reluctant to get another test done so soon when I know it's going to be low. I will call the haemotologist on monday. Thanks
I'd assume they have gone down. My little man only got bruising and rash when count under ten. I'd speak to your GP/consultant tomorrow. Good luck x
