Abstract

Ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) is widely used as anticoagulant in laboratory. EDTA-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia is a rare phenomenon in children. The detection of these cases is extremely important for prevention of the wrong treatments and practices. The aim of this pediatric case report was to draw attention to EDTA-dependent pseudotyhrombocytopenia.

Özet

Etilen-diamine-tetra-asetik asit (EDTA) laboratuvarda antikoagülan olarak yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. EDTA'nın neden olduğu psödotrombositopeni, çocuklarda nadir görülen bir fenomendir. Bu vakaların tespiti, yanlış tedavi ve uygulamaların önlenmesi açısından son derece önemlidir. Bu pediatrik olgu sunumunun amacı, EDTA'ya bağlı psödotrombositopeniye dikkat çekmektir.
