Abstract
Thrombocytopenia is a physiological deficiency in platelet counting. Fragmented RBC can be a chronic trigger for a subclinical micro angiopathy that results in chronic consumption of platelets. The platelet is a small, lentiform, anucleated cell that play a vital role in hemostasis and are produced in the bone marrow from megakaryocytes. To evaluate different etiological factors of thrombocytopenia by the study of clinical profile and laboratory parameters in patients with thrombocytopenia carried out in Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital, Chennai. After evaluating all cases of thrombocytopenia, it is concluded that infective causes are more common than non-infective causes. Infections like dengue, malaria and septicemia were the common causes of thrombocytopenia along with megaloblastic anemia. Whenever thrombocytopenia is detected, a further investigation has to be done for specific diagnosis in the most of the cases so that appropriate treatment can be given.
