Abstract

Elevated platelet count in pediatrics is a common incidental finding in hospitalized and outpatient children. Thrombocytosis in children is typically transient, occurring secondary to various underlying medical, and often inflammatory disorders as an increase in platelet count are part of the acute-phase response. Rarely, persistent thrombocytosis may be the result of inherited or acquired genetic mutations. Essential thrombocytosis is a rare pediatric myeloproliferative disorder with distinct biological and clinical features when compared to adult essential thrombocytosis. In this chapter, we will provide an overview of primary and secondary causes of thrombocytosis.
