Is 62 platelets considered serious?

Platelet 62×10^9/L belongs to thrombocytopenia, but it is not yet a severe thrombocytopenia. It is considered that it may be related to infection, aplastic anemia, drug use, primary immune thrombocytopenia, malignant blood diseases, etc. The severity should be based on the specific etiology.
1. Infection: viral, bacterial, fungal and other microbial infections can lead to thrombocytopenia. Platelets rise immediately after the control of the primary disease, which is usually not very serious. Medications include levofloxacin, voriconazole, and so on.
2. Aplastic anemia: in addition to platelet decline, usually accompanied by a decline in red blood cells, white blood cells and other three systems. Patients may show persistent fever, bleeding, infection and other symptoms. This is a more serious disease, and some children have a poorer prognosis.
Most cases of non-severe aplastic anemia can be remitted or cured, but the mortality rate for severe aplastic anemia is more than 30%. Medications include cyclosporine and anti-human thymocyte globulin.
3. Drugs: certain drugs can also cause a drop in platelets, such as sulfonamides, chloramphenicol, aminopyrine, etc., causing platelets 62×10^9/L. Platelets usually rise after stopping the drug, which is usually not serious.
4. Primary immune thrombocytopenia: more serious, need to be treated with prednisone, gammaglobulin and other drugs in time.
5. Thrombocytopenia caused by malignant hematological diseases: very serious, need to be timely to the cause of the treatment, such as acute myeloid leukemia to be cytarabine, erythromycin and other drugs chemotherapy.
In addition, disseminated intravascular coagulation, severe liver disease, systemic lupus erythematosus can lead to platelet drop, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to find out the cause, under the guidance of the physician to treat the cause.
