Abstract

Pseudothrombocytopenia is caused by in vitro platelet clumping in anticoagulated blood. Electronic blood count shows a low platelet count in subjects with normal platelet levels. The situation may be mistaken with true thrombocytopenia and may lead to incorrect diagnosis and treatment. Microscopic examination of the peripheral blood smear is of key importance to confirm the diagnosis. The aim of this case report was to draw attention to pseudotyhrombocytopenia, which is one of the possible causes of thrombocytopenia.

Özet

Yalancı trombositopeni, antikoagüle kanda trombositlerin kümeleşmesi sonucu elektronik kansayım cihazlarında normal trombosit seviyesine sahip kişilerin trombosit sayısının düşük ölçülmesidir.Bu durum gerçek trombositopeni gibi algılanıp yanlış tanı ve tedavilere neden olabilir. Periferik kanyaymasının mikroskobik incelemesi tanıyı doğrulamak için çok önemlidir. Bu olgu sunumunun amacıtrombositopeninin muhtemel nedenlerinden biri olan yalancı trombositopeniye dikkat çekmektir.
