Thrombopathic thrombocytopenia; successful transfusion of blood platelets.
T HE OPPORTUNITY presented itself recently for the study of a case of chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura characterized by the presence of unusually large agranular platelets. Several features indicated that the platelets were physiologically defective and led to the diagnosis of a thrombopathic or thrombasthenic type of thrombocytopenic purpura. When a blood transfusion from a polycyth...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Severity and Duration of Thrombocytopenia following Exchange Transfusion in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia
Background: Infant jaundice is one the most common causes of hospitalization in infant in the first month of birth, which is defined an abnormal increase in blood bilirubin levels. Exchange transfusion is the recommended treatment for neonatal jaundice who do not respond to phototherapy and experience dangerous complication of jaundice and signs of kernicterus.

متن کاملNeonatal thrombocytopenia and platelet transfusion - a UK perspective.
Five percent of newborn infants admitted to UK neonatal units during a recent study developed a platelet count <60 × 10(9)/l, and 60% of these were transfused platelets. This review summarises the common causes and mechanisms of thrombocytopenia in the newborn. Relevant evidence relating the platelet count to the risk of haemorrhage is reviewed, and current UK guidance on transfusion thresholds...
متن کاملAntigen-positive platelet transfusion in neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT).
Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT) is a fetomaternal incompatibility most commonly induced by maternal anti-HPA-1a, IgG alloantibodies against a polymorphic epitope of the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex in approximately 97.5% of white patients. Current guidelines recommend transfusion of immunologically compatible platelets to prevent cerebral hemorrhage, the most severe complication in...
متن کاملThrombocytopenia and platelet transfusion
Thrombocytopenia is caused by disorders impairing platelet production, causing platelet destruction or leading to platelet sequestration. In addition, there are both congenital and acquired disorders of platelet function. These latter conditions may lead to the functional equivalent of thrombocytopenia, often despite the presence of a normal platelet count. Platelet transfusion represents an im...
