Dhruba,

My platelets are currently at 30K (I'm in hospital at the US National Institutes of Health), and I have been told by my doctor's that they will transfuse platelets if the count gets down to 10K. Below that, things get dangerous. I think some folks may use 20K as the marker, but here it is 10K.

Good luck! Your wife is lucky to have you looking after her.

Greg
