How we approach an acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura patient.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Decisions on prophylactic platelet (PLT) transfusions are generally based on the recipient's PLT count, but few clinicians are aware of precision and accuracy of the PLT counting methods used by the clinical laboratory. Each PLT counting technology has its specific inaccuracy, especially in thrombocytopenic ...
