Some things can affect how well the bone marrow can produce platelets. When not enough platelets are made, the platelet count in your blood is too low. Chemotherapy and some radiation therapy can cause this temporarily. These cancer treatments can slow the production of platelets in the bone marrow. Another cause of a low platelet count is cancer of the bone marrow. Other conditions can result in a low platelet count as well.
Low platelet count due to impaired production is generally due to problems with the bone marrow. Usually other blood cells (red and white) are also affected by some of these processes, and their numbers may be abnormal. Some viral infections can cause low platelet count by affecting the bone marrow, for example, 1  parvovirus, 2  rubella, 3  mumps, 4  varicella (chickenpox), 5  hepatitis C, 6  Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and. 7  HIV.
