Diagnosis of Inherited Platelet Disorders on a Blood Smear [PDF]
Inherited platelet disorders (IPDs) are rare diseases featured by low platelet count and defective platelet function. Patients have variable bleeding diathesis and sometimes additional features that can be congenital or acquired. Identification of an IPD is desirable to avoid misdiagnosis of immune thrombocytopenia and the use of improper treatments ...

Diagnosis of inherited platelet disorders on a blood smear: a tool to facilitate worldwide diagnosis of platelet disorders [PDF]
Essentials There are many hereditary platelet disorders (HPD) but diagnosing these is challenging. We provide a method to diagnose several HPDs using standard blood smears requiring < 100 µL blood. By this approach, the underlying cause of HPD was characterized in ~25-30% of referred individuals.
