Hi, I hope someone can help and put my mind at rest or help me try and understand the route my sons consultant is taking.
My son has been diagnosed with chronic ITP his platelets are around 40 at the moment and have been for about 18 months now. Recently he has had a continuous month or so of sore throats, tonsillitis and generally feeling run down. He’s missed a lot of school. He’s consultant did a bone marrow biopsy and he confirmed chronic ITP but also found he had only 30% cellularity.
Now because my sons red and white cell count have always been in range he has suggested he continues to monitor him and re test his bone marrow in 6 months time, so watch and wait. When I asked what for he said my son may be showing signs of AA.
Has anyone heard of this type of cellularity at this age and only platelets being effected?
Worried and confused any help would be good
