Giant platelet disorder; Two giant platelets (stained purple) are visible in this image from a light microscope (40×) from a peripheral blood smear surrounded by red blood cells. One normal platelet can be seen in the upper left side of the image (purple) and is significantly smaller in size than the red blood cells (stained pink). Specialty ...
The longest time between discharge and relapse was over 3 years. Seven dogs experienced relapse more than once and one dog relapsed five times before being euthanised. [16] In dogs with a platelet count below < 30,000 cells/μL there is an increased risk of spontaneous haemorrhage; [26] however, haemorrhage cannot be predicted in dogs with IMT ...
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura or TTP is caused by primary platelet activation. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura leads to increased amounts of large von Willebrand factor which then attach to activated platelets and mediate further platelet aggregation. Platelets end up being removed and the resulting fibrin strand formation remains.
Polychromasia can also be seen in blood smears when there is a normal reticulocyte count. This can be caused by infiltration of the bone marrow due to tumors as well as fibrosis, or scarring, of the marrow. [citation needed]
Anisocytosis is a medical term meaning that a patient's red blood cells are of unequal size. This is commonly found in anemia and other blood conditions. False diagnostic flagging may be triggered on a complete blood count by an elevated WBC count, agglutinated RBCs, RBC fragments, giant platelets or platelet clumps due to anisocytosis.
Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is a rare X-linked recessive disease characterized by eczema, thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), immune deficiency, and bloody diarrhea (secondary to the thrombocytopenia). [1] It is also sometimes called the eczema-thrombocytopenia-immunodeficiency syndrome in keeping with Aldrich's original description in ...

Heinz bodies are associated with the consumption of paracetamol (acetaminophen), garlic, [11] [12] and onions by cats, [13] dogs, and various primates. Thiosulfate compounds in the flesh of onions have been identified as the cause. Propylene glycol was once a common ingredient in soft moist cat food. According to the FDA "It was known for some ...
