Hemorrhagic tendency in beta-thalassemia major
Isr J Med Sci.
1978 Nov.
Abstract
A mild hemorrhagic tendency was observed in a group of beta-thalassemia major patients. This included easy bruising and frequent epistaxis. A consistent platelet anomaly manifested by diminished platelet aggregation to ADP, collagen, ristocetin and epinephrine was found in these patients, and could be responsible in part for the hemorrhagic phenomena.
