Abstract EN
A family with two kids ; a boy, 9 years old & his sister, 5 years old from Al-Nashwa, Basrah, Iraq, is presented in this article with a bleeding tendency since childbirth manifested as easily bruising after minor trauma or even spontaneously which necessitate their hospital admission & relief after giving them fresh blood or platelets concentrate but not a fresh plasma.
The boy had been discovered since he was three years old.
There was a positive family history with a consanguineous marriage of parents (both are cousins).
Both kids have the same clinical manifestation, normal complete blood count, normal platelets count & morphology.
All coagulation screening tests were normal except a prolonged bleeding time (by Ivy’s method). Both cases had been diagnosed as Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia,.
Unfortunately there is no platelets aggregation test available in the country to ascertain that.
