Thrombocytopenia

Infection which is characterised by a reduction in the number of blood platelets. The causes can be of three orders: platelet production disorders, excessive destruction of platelets or platelet distribution disorders. In the most severe forms of thrombocytopenia we can observe skin haemorrhages in the form of small red stains or bruises.
