JPAGE_CURRENT_OF_TOTAL Symptoms of ThrombocytopeniaTypically, a patient with thrombocytopenia reports a sudden onset of petechiae and ecchymoses, from bleeding into mucous membranes or on the skin. Painless, round and pinpoints (1 to 3 mm in diameter), petechiae usually appear and fade, and sometimes group to form ecchymoses. Another type of blood leakage (and larger than petechiae), ecchymoses are purple, blue or yellow-green bruises that vary in size and shape. They can occur anywhere on the body from a traumatic injury. A person with thrombocytopenia may also complain of malaise, fatigue and general weakness (with or without accompanying blood loss). In acquired thrombocytopenia, the patient's history may include the use of one or several offending drugs. Inspection typically reveals evidence of bleeding (petechiae or ecchymoses), along with slow, continuous bleeding from any injuries or wounds. Adults may have large, blood-filled bullae in the mouth. If the person's platelet count is between 30,000 and 50,000/mm3, bruising with minor trauma may be expected; if it is between 15,000 and 30,000/mm3, spontaneous bruising will be seen (mostly on the arms and legs). Diagnosis of ThrombocytopeniaA thorough history must be taken to rule out the following: exposure to drugs known to cause increased platelet destruction in sensitive people; the presence or absence of a fever associated with viruses; and recent systemic diseases or a recent blood transfusion. Also, a complete physical examination needs to be done, including the palpation of the size of the spleen. Lab tests to determine the platelet count and clotting function may also be done. In severe thrombocytopenia, a bone marrow study can determine the number, size and maturity of the megakaryocytes (the bone marrow cells that release mature platelets). This information may identify ineffective platelet production as the cause of thrombocytopenia and rule out a malignant disease process at the same time.
