Evaluation of Thrornbocytosis in Severe Bacterial Infection
Background: Ine childhood, thrombocytosis is noted commonly and most cases are associated with diseases such as infections, hemorrhage and iron deficiency anemia. And,
it is said that this reactive thrombocytosis is more common and severe in infectious diseases of the lung and severe bacterial infections.
Methods: Medical records were reviewed and analysis was done with 49 cases of sepsis, osteomyelitis and empyema among in-patients of the pediatric department of
National Medical Center from January 1986 to December 1990. And, additional 165 cases of pneumonia hospitalized from January 1990 to December 1990 were includied.
Results: The associated diseases with platelet count more than 400×10 3/㎣(115 cases) on admission were as follows, in the order of frequency; pneumonia(92 cases, 80.0%), sepsis(10 cases, 8.7%), empyema(7 cases, 6.1%), and
osteomyelitis(6 cases, 5.2%). Although the mean platelet count on admission were slightly higher in cases with empyema(457.0±264.3×10 3㎣) and sepsis(458.7±220.1×10 3㎣) than with pneumonia (425.4±167.1×10 3㎣), and it was also higher in cases with diseases of the lung(empyems, pneumonia) than with osteomyelitis, there was no statistical significance.
It seems like that at the higher level of the platelet count, the level of the white blood cell count was higher too, and the level of the hemoglobin was lower. These findings, however, were not significant. There was no complications of thrombocytosis.
Conclusion: In this study, we could not see that reactive thrombocytosis is more common or severe in severe bacterial infections or infections of the lung.
