Abstract：
Platelet satellitism refers to the rosetting of the platelets around white blood cells, mostly neutrophils that could lead to spuriously low platelet counts on automated analyzers. The phenomenon has usually been described in EDTA processed blood samples. We describe the clinical course of a patient with immune thrombocytopenia with platelet satellitism in both EDTA as well as non EDTA processed blood samples. We also review the literature describing two other reports of the platelet satellitism in patients with immune thrombocytopenia. We also reference the literature describing the heterogeneity of the presence of platelet satellitism in different clinical and laboratory settings.
摘要：
血小板杂散是指白细胞周围的血小板，主要是中性粒细胞，可能导致自动分析仪上的血小板计数低。这种现象通常在EDTA处理的血液样品中描述。我们描述了EDTA和非EDTA处理的血液样本中的免疫性血小板减少症患者的临床过程。我们还回顾了其他两个关于免疫性血小板减少症患者血小板卫星症的报道。我们还参考了描述在不同的临床和实验室环境中血小板卫星症存在异质性的文献。
