A member asked:
I've been having issues with large unknown bruises on my arms and legs for months. i have thrombocytosis, leukocytosis & neutrophilia. so why?

Rheumatologist?: Although a bit counterintuitive because playlets help make blood clot, bruising and bleeding can be caused by thrombocytosis in which the too many platelets do not work correctly. These symptoms and lab findings can be associated with hla-b27 related rheumatologic diseases. Sometimes a team of a rheumatologist and hematologist is needed to get to the best diagnosis and treatment.
