Thrombasthenia

Rare, inherited (autosomal recessive) disease in which platelets do not function normally to produce a blood clot, and hemorrhage ensues. Treatment is by platelet transfusion.


A hereditary blood disease in which the function of the platelets is defective although they are present in normal numbers. The manifestations are identical to those of thrombocytopenic purpura.
