Child with previous history of minor trauma with excessive bleeding we do test the result is prolong PT & slightly increase clotting time & ... Test is +ve. the diagnosis is:
a- hemophelia B.
b- thrombocytopenia.
c- vit.K deficiency***
A clot may fail to form because of a quantitative or functional platelet deficiency.
The former is most readily assessed by obtaining a platelet count.
The normal platelet count is 200,000—500,000 cells/mm3 Prolonged bleeding may occur if platelets fall below 100,000 cells/ mm3.
Treatment of severe thrombocytopenia may require platelet transfusion.
Qualitative platelet dysfunction most often results from aspirin ingestion and is most commonly measured by determining the bleeding time.
Prolonged bleeding time requires consultation with a hematologist.
