title: Glanzmann's thrombasthenia associated with a transient deficiency of factor XIII.
abstract: A three-year-old girl suffering from ecchymoses developed severe epistaxis. The diagnosis of thrombasthenia was made on the basis of platelet aggregation studies, flow cytometric analysis with monoclonal antibodies and gel electrophoretic analysis. In addition, coagulation studies at the time of epistaxis repeatedly showed a transient deficiency of factor XIII activity and antigen.
