If you do a search on PDSA website of the word 'TamiFlu' you'll find ITP'ers who have reported count rises with it.rwrourk@gmail.com wrote: 83 yr old post splenectomy as a child - count usually around 98,000, but when I had the Type A Flu in January 2020 (now wonder if it was COVID) and count went down to 30,000. After 2 days in hospital pumped full of TamiFlu, Azityromycin, IV fluids and 1 IV dose of Prednisone, at 10 day follow-up with my Internist, platelet count 450,000! It has never in my lifetime been that high. Weird! Anyone else had a similar experience?
