Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hi , Actually 's platelet count runs elevated. One time it ran in the 800,000's, but now its a little over 460,000. The doctors said platelets could run either low or elevated in that case. I can't see bone marrow failure because his red count was never low to suggest anemia. We will have to see after these labs they run. I still think its a periodic fever that has not yet been indentified. But, as a parent, the scare is still there. Being a 2% chance I see it like, 100 children with the same symptoms and labs, 2 will have leukimia, if your child is in that group of 100, you would be scared, but if your childs not in that group you would say the chances are slim. Does that make sence? Is Australia up to date on periodic fevers? Thank you for your response and I hope all is well for you and you family.
