In ITP patients, WBC increases during treatment, while PLT decreases compared to before.

Patient's question:

My child will be one year old soon. On December 26, 2005, he was diagnosed with ITP (increased megakaryocytes in bone marrow examination, left shift, thrombocytopenia). He was hospitalized for 5 days, mainly receiving intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). Four days after the infusion, the test results showed WBC 14.1, RBC 3.6, PLT 215, accompanied by slight cough. After discharge, he took prednisone orally for 7 days, pediatric digestive cough oral liquid, and amoxicillin. According to the doctor's instructions, the prednisone dose should be halved after 7 days and a follow-up check-up should be conducted. Today, the follow-up test results showed WBC 17.2, RBC 4.99, PLT 146. Is this a normal condition? If not, what treatment should be administered? What should be noted in nursing care?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, what are the units after the numbers "WBC17.2,RBC4.99,PLT146"?
