Laboratory diagnosis of thrombocytopenia
Authors
Abstract:
Thrombocytopenia is observed in different clinical situations as inherited and acquired forms. Intracranial bleeding is major life threatening of severe thrombocytopenia. Thrombocytopenia, peripheral blood findings and chromosomal study have opened new insight for correct diagnosis and treatment.

Laboratory tests for the diagnosis of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Because the pathophysiology of this complex disorder has remained unclear, so has the development of supportive diagnostic laboratory assays. The currently available laboratory methods for HIT diagnosis include several platelet function assays: the platelet aggregation assay, platelet aggregation with simult...
full textLaboratory diagnosis of fungal infections
Selection of appropriate specimens for culture and microscopic examination is based on the results of clinical and radiographic examination and consideration of the most likely fungal pathogen that may cause such an infection. Specimens should be collected under aseptic conditions or after appropriate cleaning and decontamination of the collection site and rapidly transported to the clinical my...

A preterm female baby with birth weight of 1.5kg was referred to our hospital on day 6 for difficulty in breathing. Baby was admitted at birth for respiratory distress and feed intolerance to other hospital and in view of clinical deterioration baby was referred. Baby had thrombocytopenia with platelets counts of 11000/ mm3 and high CRP titer. Baby had petechial haemorrhagic spots all over the ...

Background and Aim: To manage and control malaria - one of the most important infectious diseases in tropical and subtropical regions – a quick and accurate malaria diagnosis method is necessary as a high priority. For this purpose, several methods have been developed for the diagnosis of malaria, and currently, the examining the peripheral blood slide with an optical microscope as a gold stand...

This report describes studies into the pathophysiology of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. The IgG fraction from each of nine patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia caused heparin-dependent platelet release of radiolabeled serotonin. Both the Fc and the Fab portions of the IgG molecule were required for the platelet reactivity. The platelet release reaction could be inhibited by the Fc...
full textDiagnosis of Tuberculosis: Novel Laboratory Methods
Despite advances in medical sciences in recent years, tuberculosis remains a worldwide health problem. Although there are many laboratory methods to accelerate the diagnosis, a delay in the definitive diagnosis of the disease is still a major clinical problem. Due to the slow growth of the causative agent, (Mycobacterium tuberculosis), isolation, identification, and other clinically important m...
