Abstract:
Thrombocytosis is a frequently occured disease in pediatrics.It can be classified into primary thrombocythemia and reactive thrombocytosis.The former can be divided into familial thrombocythemia and essential thrombocythemia.Essential thrombocythemia,chronic myeloproliferative disorders,is very rare in children,but may be associated with thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications.Reactive thrombocytosis is very common and is due to a variety of conditions,such as acute and chronic infections,bleeding,iron deficiency and so on.Treatment of reactive thrombocytosis should be directed to the primary disease.This review briefly describes thrombocytosis etiology,pathogenesis,prognosis,and treatment of research progress.
