Abstract
Thrombocytopenia and thrombocytosis are defined by a decreased or an elevated
platelet count, respectively. Changes in the platelet number are frequently observed during
childhood. This article aims at quickly examining the main causes of thrombocytopenia
and thrombocytosis in children in order to help the paediatricians with their diagnosis
and management.
