Thrombocytopenia in children

Pediatric Clinics of North America

Abstract

Thrombocytopenia in children can be classified on the basis of understanding of the production, life span, and fate of platelets. Thrombocytopenia may be familial, associated with drug-ingestion as a result of immune mediated mechanisms, direct toxicity to circulating platelets, or injury to megakaryocytes, or associated with other disease states.
