Quantitative and qualitative platelet disorders.
Platelet disorders are common during childhood. Those conditions that are clinically significant are generally diagnosed with ease. Qualitative platelet disorders rarely cause clinical problems. The armamentarium of diagnostic tests, although limited, is usually satisfactory to allow for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of those children with platelet disorders who are at risk of hemorrhage.
