Thrombocytopenia Conundrum- can you solve ?

About a year ago, we encountered two interesting paediatric cases at different times. Both children presented with similar symptoms— both between age 3 and 4, one was girl and other was a boy. They looked pale, appeared tired, and were noticeably lethargic. One of the children also had picky eating habits along with pica. Importantly, there was no history suggestive of any bleeding tendency in either child.

What would you read from the FBC ?

Your D/d, what do you think about platelets ?
