Glanzmann thrombasthenia in children from Argentina
Purpose: Glanzmann thrombasthenia is a well-defined inherited disorder of platelet function characterized by a decrease or absence of functional platelet glycoprotein (GP) GPIIbIIIa. The diagnosis must be considered in patients presenting with mucocutaneous bleeding, purpura, a normal platelet count...

The diagnosis must be considered in patients presenting with mucocutaneous bleeding, purpura, a normal platelet count, abnormal platelet aggregation, and a prolonged bleeding time.

Conclusion: The nature and severity of the bleeding manifestations, in our patients, were not predictible by the laboratory findings.
