Hi Julie,
I had the flu last month with high fevers for about a week. When I got my blood test done on day 5 of the flu (I was starting to recover by then), my reticulocytes were about 0 and my platelets had dropped 30%!
So, if you had a fever lasting 2 weeks, I wouldn't be surprised if you ate through your reticulocytes, RBC reserves, and platelets. If you have no immature RBCs, you're circulating RBC's will go down. Hopefully, you are over your virus now and your next blood test will put you more at ease!
