    acquired thrombocytopenia of unknown cause, characterized by immune-mediated destruction of normal platelets. it affects both children and adults. it manifests with petechiae, purpura, and overt bleeding. based upon the duration of the disease, it is classified as newly diagnosed (from diagnosis until 3 months), persistent (3-12 months), and chronic (lasting for more than 12 months).
  • Thrombocytopenic Purpura

    purpura associated with a reduction in circulating blood platelets which can result from a variety of factors.
  • Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, CTCAE|Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura|Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

    a disorder characterized by the presence of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, fever, renal abnormalities and neurological abnormalities such as seizures, hemiplegia, and visual disturbances. it is an acute or subacute condition.
  • Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura|Moschowitz Disease|TTP|TTP|Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

    a coagulation disorder characterized by extensive formation of thrombi in small blood vessels throughout the body due to low levels of adamts13 protein, and resulting in consumption of circulating platelets, which is characterized by thrombocytopenia, anemia, neurologic changes, and sometimes fever and renal dysfunction.
  • Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia|NAIT|Neonatal Thrombocytopenia due to Platelet Alloimmunization

    thrombocytopenia that occurs in neonates as a consequence of transplacental passage of maternal alloantibodies directed against fetal platelet antigens.
  • Neonatal Thrombocytopenia

    a condition characterized by a decrease in the number of platelets in the blood below established reference ranges in a newborn.

Patient Education


Platelet Disorders

Platelets, also known as thrombocytes, are blood cells. They form in your bone marrow, a sponge-like tissue in your bones. Platelets play a major role in blood clotting. Normally, when one of your blood vessels is injured, you start to bleed. Your platelets will clot (clump together) to plug the hole in the blood vessel and stop the bleeding. You can have different problems with your platelets:

  • If your blood has a low number of platelets, it is called thrombocytopenia. This can put you at risk for mild to serious bleeding. The bleeding could be external or internal. There can be various causes. If the problem is mild, you may not need treatment. For more serious cases, you may need medicines or blood or platelet transfusions.
  • If your blood has too many platelets, you may have a higher risk of blood clots.
    • When the cause is unknown, this is called thrombocythemia. It is rare. You may not need treatment if there are no signs or symptoms. In other cases, people who have it may need treatment with medicines or procedures.
    • If another disease or condition is causing the high platelet count, it is thrombocytosis. The treatment and outlook for thrombocytosis depends on what is causing it.
  • Another possible problem is that your platelets do not work as they should. For example, in von Willebrand Disease, your platelets cannot stick together or cannot attach to blood vessel walls. This can cause excessive bleeding. There are different types of in von Willebrand Disease; treatment depends on which type you have.

Uncommon Infant and Newborn Problems

It can be scary when your baby is sick, especially when it is not an everyday problem like a cold or a fever. You may not know whether the problem is serious or how to treat it. If you have concerns about your baby's health, call your health care provider right away.

Learning information about your baby's condition can help ease your worry. Do not be afraid to ask questions about your baby's care. By working together with your health care provider, you make sure that your baby gets the best care possible.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
