Background: Osteopetrosisis an inherited and rare bone disease, characterized by the impairment ofbone modeling and remodeling and the failure of osteoclasts to resorb bone. It also results in skeletal fragility despite increased bone mass, and may cause hematopoietic insufficiency, disturbed tooth eruption, nerve entrapment syndromes, and growth impairment. The infantile form of the disease is...

1. List the platelet counts that represent mild, moderate, and severe thrombocytopenia. 2. List common causes of thrombocytopenia in sick neonates, preterm infants, and infants who have other medical conditions. 3. List the conditions characterized by physical abnormalities or dysmorphic features that commonly are associated with thrombocytopenia. 4. List potential causes of thrombocytopenia in...

Neonatal lupus syndrome (NLS) is a rare disease with dermatological, cardiac, hepatic and hematologic involvement due to placental transfer of anti-Ro/ SSA anti-La/ SSB antibodies in infants mothers autoimmune diseases. Multisystemic common infants. Here we present baby neonatal whose mother had Sjögren's syndrome. He presented thrombocytopenia, then convulsion cardiac arrest pericardial tampon...

Background: Neonatal thrombocytopenia is defined as a platelet count <150,000/μL can be mild, moderate, or severe thrombocytopenia. The production in neonates begins early at 5 weeks of gestation and reaches the adults by 24–28 weeks. disorders are due to impaired increased destruction sequestration. onset neonatal occurs within 72 h late develops risk intraventricular hemorrhage. Hence, kno...

abstract objective: to assess the incidence of thrombocytopenia and changes in various platelet parameters, in culture positive neonatal sepsis. methods: this was prospective study conducted over a period of one year from december 2009 to november 2010 in neonatal intensive care unit of dduh hospital, a tertiary care hospital in delhi, north india. all babies who were admitted during this perio...

OBJECTIVE To determine frequency of thrombocytopenia and thrombocytosis, the MPV (mean platelet volume) and PDW (platelet distribution width) in patients with probable and culture proven neonatal sepsis and determine any association between platelet counts and mortality rate. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive analytical study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY NICU, Fazle Omar Hospital, from January 2011 ...

Background: The aim is to study neonatal thrombocytopenia and associated factors compare the results with recent studies in neonates admitted intensive care unit (NICU).Methods: After taking detailed consent from parents/guardians, maternal obstetrics history were taken complete physical examination was done details of investigations outcome noted evaluated. Relevant data entered predesigned pr...
