Sorry about the bout with bronchitis. It is kind of funny, but bronchitis is exactly how my MDS was initially discovered. Bronchitis and other infections can reduce platelets and red blood counts according to my doctors. I have experienced it first hand both pre-transplant and post-transplant. Since my counts improved about 2 years ago, I fluctuate between 110k and 200k platelets, usually between 150k and 170k. I had a pretty bad cold a few weeks ago and found myself down at 120k.

Overall, if the BMB looked good, just keep an eye on your numbers once your health improves and there should be a little bounce.

Hope you are better soon.
Dan
