Question
What should I do if the blood cell morphology examination report shows thrombocytopenia?
Answer
The patient has been diagnosed with granulocytes, erythrocytes, and megakaryocytes showing continuous increase and poor platelet production, indicating a change in the bone marrow image of thrombocytopenia. Primary immune thrombocytopenic purpura is an immunological syndrome, which may be caused by an acute viral upper respiratory tract infection after recovery or in chronic patients by factors such as anti-platelet antibodies in serum, defects in cellular immune function, splenic factors, and higher levels of estrogen. The acute form of the disease is often self-limiting, with more than 80% resolving spontaneously, with an average duration of 4 to 6 weeks. Treatment methods include the use of inosine, amino acid, nucleotides, and other platelet-raising drugs, as well as adrenal cortical hormones, immunosuppressants, and immunoglobulins. Splenectomy may be performed if necessary.
