title: [Platelet aggregation in diabetes mellitus in children].
abstract: Platelets-endothelial cells interaction appears to cause vascular damage in diabetes. Platelet aggregation was studied in 24 diabetic children and adolescents (mean age: 12.2 years, mean duration of diabetes: 3.3 years), with only one presenting microangiopathy complications (retinopathy). Platelet aggregation was found to be normal, suggesting that there is usually no platelet hyperactivity in diabetic children.
