The possible causes of a low platelet count include:

Bone marrow problems

Your bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside the bone. It’s where all the components of blood, including platelets, are produced. If your bone marrow isn’t producing enough platelets, you’ll have a low platelet count. The causes of low platelet production include:

   aplastic anemia

   vitamin B-12 deficiency

   folate deficiency

   iron deficiency

   viral infections, including HIV, Epstein-Barr, and chickenpox

   exposure to chemotherapy, radiation, or toxic chemicals

   consuming too much alcohol

   cirrhosis

   leukemia

   myelodysplasia

Platelet destruction

Each platelet lives about 10 days in a healthy body. A low platelet count can also be a result of the body destroying too may platelets. This can be due to side effects of certain medications, include diuretics and anti-seizure medications. It can also be a symptom of:

   hypersplenism, or an enlarged spleen

   an autoimmune disorder

   pregnancy

   a bacterial infection in the blood

   idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura

   thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

   hemolytic uremic syndrome

   disseminated intravascular coagulation
