thrombocyte phagocytosis requires activation factors secreted by other leukocytes.
[8] In patients with severe thrombocytopenia obtaining accurate and precise
thrombocyte counts by automated haematology analysers is still challenging especially when important clinical decision has to be made regarding
thrombocyte transfusion.
A
thrombocyte replacement solely may not be enough in cases that need an emergency surgical intervention.
Thrombocyte count, clotting time, prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), active partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and buccal mucosa bleeding time (BMBT) are the most frequently used parameters in determining coagulation disorders (Forsythe and Willis, 1989; ogurtan et al., 2002; Smith et al., 2005).
The red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC) and
thrombocyte (TC) counts were performed within 2 hours of blood collection by Improved Neubauer hemocytometer using Natt-Herrick as the diluent and stain (Svobodova et al., 1991).
The pre-treatment low count of total
thrombocyte (ranging from 38.4 [+ or -] 5.48 to 49.50 [+ or -] 6.37) in all treatment groups compared to healthy control group (227.50 [+ or -] 20.00) gradually found to increased progressively at different days of treatment excepting in group B and C.
The total erythrocyte, leukocyte, and
thrombocyte counts were determined using the Natt and Herrick's method as described by Thrall et al.
Although thrombocytopenia does not occur actually, the number of
thrombocyte may be low in counts.
With regard to
thrombocyte count, digital imaging has been shown to correlate well with both manual and cell counter results.14 The analysis of platelet morphology (e.g.
In laboratory examination, hemoglobin was 13 g/dl, leukocytewas 15700/[mm.sup.3],
thrombocyte was 9300/[mm.sup.3], CRP was 171mg/dl (0-5mg/dl), erytrocyte sedimentation rate was 75 mm/h, aspartate aminotransferase was 109 U/L (15-50 U/L), alanine aminotransferase was 202 U/L (10-50 U/L), total bilirubin was 3.49mg/dl (0.3-1.35 mg/dl), direct biluribine was 3.42mg/dl (0.05-0.5 mg/dl) and sodium was 126meq/l (130-150 meq/L).
Immune
thrombocyte destruction may significantly threaten life due to severe bleeding [12].
[24] The following information were collected: age at onset of JIA, duration of disease, number and localization of joint with active arthritis (joint with active arthritis is a joint with swelling not due to bony enlargement or, if no swelling is present, limitation of motion accompanied by either pain on motion and/or tenderness (The American College of Rheumatology definition), extra-articular clinical manifestations of JIA (enthesitis, acute uveitis, intermittent fever that lasts two or more weeks, transient erythematous rash, serositis, splenomegaly and generalized lymphadenopathy), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), leukocyte, hemoglobin, and
thrombocyte counts.
