Dear Friend. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I have read your query in detail. Furthermore, I understand your concern. Platelet count can get low in any Viral Fever. Dengue is also a type of Viral fever. There is no value of platelet count that can define a dengue fever. You should keep a watch on his platelet count and if he develops any bleeding, he should be Transfused platelets. However, it is unlikely that he would develop bleeding at this platelet count. Get his:1. Dengue NS1 and IgM2. Malaria Antibody. This is my best advice for you with the available details, if you have any further query, please ask us. Stay Healthy
