  • Abstract
    A 9-year-old girl was admitted with petechiae and mild pallor after an episode of upper respiratory tract infection. Physical examination detected aortic systolic murmur in addition to mild splenomegaly. Laboratory data showed Hb 8.9 g/dL, MCV 87 fl, MCH 27 pg, MCHC 31.7 g/dL, reticulocyte 4.3 %, platelet count 32 x109/L and MPV 21 fl. Peripheral blood smear from the patient was significant for stomatocytosis along with macrothrombocytopenia (Figure 1). The optical platelet count was employed which reported as 125×109/L. Bleeding time was also checked which was more than 10 minutes.
