HIT presents the clinician with unique diagnostic challenges, especially in the pediatric population. The HIT clinical sequelae of thrombocytopenia and thrombosis are secondary to the activation of platelets by heparin-antibody complexes. Diagnosis involves clinical observations and confirmatory laboratory testing using antibody detection and the functional SRA. As we describe in the following case of a six-yr-old female, the SRA may be difficult to interpret in the case of high-titer antibodies and illustrates the need for repeat testing in cases of high clinical suspicion.
肝素诱导的血小板减少症(HIT)给临床医生带来了独特的诊断挑战,尤其是在儿科人群中。血小板减少症和血栓形成的HIT临床后遗症是肝素-抗体复合物激活血小板的继发结果。诊断包括临床观察以及使用抗体检测和功能性血清素释放测定(SRA)进行的实验室确诊检测。正如我们在以下一名6岁女性的病例中所描述的,在高滴度抗体的情况下,SRA可能难以解释,这说明了在临床高度怀疑的病例中需要重复检测。
