I have a 13 yr old daughter who was hospitalized for a week . Doctor said her iron was low, platelet count low white blood cells high. She bruises easy, bleeding disorder (vaginal/nose)- they did a Bone marrow biopsy and seems to be ok. Referred to a Rheumatologist- now they want her in the hospital for 1 whole day- why would that be?
HI. Low platelet count may be the reason of bleeding. It is advisable to keep the patient in a hospital til the bleeding is controlled. High WBC count suggests, she has infection too.
