Is there thrombocytopenia in feve?

 Hi bluebudgee,
Thrombocytosis/Thrombocythemia is an increase in the number of platelets. Thrombocytopenia is a decreased number of platelets. Changes in platelet levels whether increased or decreased, to my knowledge, are not caused by a fever itself but caused by other etiologies. I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Theresa Jones, RN
