Bir hepatit A infeksiyonu olgusunda EDTA'ya bağlı pseudotrombositopeni

Pseudotrombositopeni kanama riskinde artışa neden olmayan ve trombosit transfüzyonu gerektirmeyen bir iyatrojenik laboratuar fenomenidir. Etilendiami-notetraasetik asid'e (EDTA) bağlı pseudotrombositopeni, otomatik kan sayımında yalancı olarak trombosit sayısındaki azalmayı tanımlamaktadır. Kan örneklerinin EDTA ile antikoagule edilmesi sonucunda normal kişilerde oluşabileceği gibi farklı hastalıkların seyrinde de gözlenebilmektedir. Bu yazıda hepatit A infeksiyonu seyrinde gözlenen bir EDTA bağımlı pseudotrombositopeni olgusu sunulmuştur. Olgu halen devam eden pseudotrombositopeni nedeniyle izlenmektedir.

EDTA induced pseudothrombocytopenia in a patient with hepatitis A infection

Pseudothronıbocytopenia is an iatrogenic laboratory phenomenon that does not increase the risk of bleeding or the need for platelet transfusion. The term ethylenediaminotetraacetic acid (EDTA) induced pseudothronıbocytopenia, defines false low platelet count when measured with automatic counters. It may occur in both normal individuals and patients with a variety of diseases when their blood samples are anticoagulated with EDTA. Here we report a patient with EDTA induced pseudothronıbocytopenia during the course of hepatitis A infection. The patient is still being followed up with pseudothrombocytopenia.
