Question
The child was diagnosed with acute upper respiratory infection on the 14th. The blood count was high, with a platelet count of 479. After five days of intravenous fluid therapy, everything else is normal now, but the platelet count has risen to 813.
Answer
Primary thrombocytosis is a primary bone marrow abnormal proliferation disease with no effective cure method at present. The most common treatment methods are long-term oral hydroxyurea tablets or interferon to inhibit excessive platelet division. Patients need to have regular follow-up visits, closely monitor changes in platelet counts, and adjust medications based on test results. High platelet counts may be caused by infection, and it is recommended to have a follow-up check in two weeks. If it does not decrease, further examination of the bone marrow should be conducted.
