Platelet satellitism is uncommon phenomenon characterized by formation of platelet rosette around polymorphonuclear leucocytes in blood smear prepared from Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid anticoagulated blood. This phenomenon may cause reporting of spurious thrombocytopenia unless proper examination of blood smears. Here we describe a case of platelet satellitism in a 29 year old female which has been incidentally found on evaluation of eosinophilia in a bronchial asthma patient.
血小板卫星现象是一种罕见现象,其特征是在由乙二胺四乙酸抗凝血液制备的血涂片上,多形核白细胞周围形成血小板花环。除非对血涂片进行适当检查,否则这种现象可能导致假性血小板减少的报告。在此,我们描述一例29岁女性的血小板卫星现象,该病例是在一名支气管哮喘患者嗜酸性粒细胞增多评估中偶然发现的。
