| Core Tip |
Should acute appendicitis with severe thrombocytopenia be operated? There are no reports about this clinical scenario. Acute appendicitis was diagnosed based on clinical findings, which included migrating right lower abdominal pain, a leukocyte count of 22.74 × 109/L and the result of abdominal computed tomography scan. However, we were not sure whether the severe thrombocytopenia was primary or secondary in nature. So smear of peripheral blood and aspiration of bone marrow were ordered to exclude the primary thrombocytopenia. Neither examination indicated any pathological changes in the hematological system. There was no hepatosplenomegaly found by ultrasound examination of the liver and spleen. Therefore, there were no contradictions for acute appendicitis patients with thrombocytopenia. |
