Detailed Answer:
Hello Pxxxxxy, Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
I've gone through your query and understand your concern for your wife,

Well, to begin with, it's extremely important to know if this is the first time it has been noticed or was it there previously also.. How were the platelet counts previously?

Please let me know what all investigations were done in that routine check-up and how were the reports, It'd be better if you can upload them here to the reports section for my review...

When you said, Tuberculosis in the throat, which part of the throat do you mean (as there are several parts like tongue, buccal cavity, larynx or voice box, pharynx or even the oesophagus or food pipe)? It'd be better if you can upload some of the details of that treatment also...

It's important to know if she has noticed/experienced any kinds of signs and symptoms, like--

-Whether there's any recent medical procedure or blood transfusion?
-Any recent infection or vaccine?
-Any vision problems?
-Is there any headaches, dizziness or weakness?
-Any chest pain?
-Is there any bleeding or easy-bruising?
-Is there any numbness or tingling in hands or feet?
-Did she have a family history of high platelet counts?

The next step would be to repeat the Platelet count from a good path-lab along with a few other investigations (a CBC with Peripheral Blood Smear, Iron profile, CRP and ESR)...Along with these, a thorough clinical check-up by a Hematologist should be done for a proper assessment along with (all of these will give a clear picture behind the apparent reason for this, one of them is definitely tuberculosis as you've rightly mentioned, however, since it's been 5years post treatment already, better to analyze further)...

It may or may not be anything serious, but the gravity of seriousness can only be assessed and confirmed after these comprehensive series of evaluation properly...

I've tried to make it as simple as possible for you to understand, let me know if there are any further doubts...

Take Care
Kind Regards
