Went to ER. Blood poison, low platelet. Now it's 4th day in hospital for IV antibiotics. I was diagnosed last July with enlarged spleen. No treatment prescribed then. How is blood poison, enlarged spleen and low platelet count related and what would treatment be?

Thanks for the words of encouragement. We hope for some information from the doctor about the results of the cultures.
