ALFA TALASEMİ TAŞIYICILIĞINA BAĞLI YALANCI TROMBOSİTOZ: OLGU SUNUMU

Trombositoz sıklıkla rastlantıal olarak karşımıza çıkan ancak ayırıcı tanısı önemli olan bir bulgudur. Modern hematoloji analizatörleri güvenilir tam kan sayımı sağlasa da; mikrositler, mikrosferositler, parçalanmış eritrositler,parçalanmış lökositler, lipid damlacıkları ve bakteriler varlığında otomati trombosit sayımı için ciddi zorluklaroluşturur. Böyle durumlarda trombosit sayısını değerlendirmede periferik yayma önem kazanmaktadır. Makalemizde alfa talasemi taşıyıcılığına bağlı yalancı trombositoz görülen olgumuzu sunduk.

Pseudo-Thrombocytosis Due To Alpha Thalassemia Trait: A Case Report

Thrombocytosis is oftn a coincidental fiding but its diffrentil diagnosis is important. Although the modern haematology analyzers provide reliable full blood counts, automated platelet countig creates serious diffiltis in the presence of microcytes, microspherocytes, fragmented erythrocytes, fragmented leukocytes, lipid droplets and bacteria. In such cases, peripheral blood smear is important for evaluatig the platelet count. We presented a case with pseudo-thrombocytosis due to alpha thalassemia trait in our artile.
