Does a low platlet count of 75000 causes splinter hemorrhages ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Petechiae: Punctate cutaneous red marks, characterize very low platelets...75k is low, i've seen it a lot, and cannot recall ever seeing petechiae at that level (not low enough). Splinter hemorrhage is a sine of bacterial endocarditis...A lesson from physical diagnosis, but I have also never seen in a 35 year career.
