Bruising, petechiae, aplastic anemia was diagnosed with aplastic anemia sept 12, 2012my platelets are up to 66, 000, but today i am seeing petechiae ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need Info: Are peteciae new or residual from original? Are you on treatment? Any bleeding? Any meds? Make sure no Aspirin or anti-inflammatories that can impact platelet function. Are you sure it's petechiae and not another rash? If it is recurrence of rash you had originally or if it is a new rash you should have your hematologist see it soon. Good luck.
