Platelet kinetics in canine ehrlichiosis: evidence for increased platelet destruction as the cause of thrombocytopenia.
A significant (P < 0.025) increase in the mean platelet diameter occurred in five Ehrlichia canis-infected dogs when platelet numbers decreased to 100,000/mul or less. Maximal incorporation of [(75)Se]selenomethionine into platelets of six uninfected dogs was 0.080 +/- 0.019% (mean +/- standard error) and occurred 5 to 6 days after dosage, whereas maximal incorporation was 0.036 +/- 0.004% with...
متن کاملIncreased platelet destruction in infancy and childhood.
The number of platelets in the peripheral blood of healthy children, full-term, and premature infants falls into the same range as that of adults. Thrombocytopenia, defined as a platelet count of less than 150,000/mm(<150 × 10/L), may be due to decreased production, splenic sequestration, or increased platelet destruction. The following is a review of disorders involving the last mechanism, all...
متن کاملPlatelet production and platelet destruction: assessing mechanisms of treatment effect in immune thrombocytopenia.
This study investigated the immature platelet fraction (IPF) in assessing treatment effects in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). IPF was measured on the Sysmex XE2100 autoanalyzer. The mean absolute-IPF (A-IPF) was lower for ITP patients than for healthy controls (3.2 vs 7.8 × 10⁹/L, P < .01), whereas IPF percentage was greater (29.2% vs 3.2%, P < .01). All 5 patients with a platelet response to E...
متن کاملSLE Thrombocytopenia: From Peripheral Platelet Destruction to Central Hemopoietic Defect
Thrombocytopenia in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is a common clinical manifestation affecting up to one third of patients in published cohorts. Antiplatelet antibodies, antithrombopoietin antibodies and faulty hemopoiesis have been implicated among other immunologic and non-immunologic causes. This mini review is an uptodate summary of these immunologic phenomena.
متن کاملPrevalence of Canine Monocytic Ehrlichiosis in Canine Population across India
Canine ehrlichiosis is a very important emerging disease in India. This study is the first attempt screening a large number of canines in India for the detection of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis. In the present study, 510 blood samples of dogs were screened for the presence of Ehrlichia canis and other variants of Anaplasmataceae family by serological and molecular methods.Out of the 510 serum ...
