My ten year old granddaughter has started to get severe bruising after a lot of blood tests the doctors have found she has no playtlets they also took a bone marrow test we do not get these results until Wednesday they have told us it is not. Leakmia thank god have you any suggestions what it might be
Hi, It could be thrombocytopenia secondary to severe bone marrow disease or destruction of platelets in the blood like ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura). Keep her out of sports or any kind of minimal trauma as it can cause severe bleeding. Once the diagnosis is made, she will get treatment. All the best.
