Unexplained bruising in an infant: Glanzmann thrombasthenia
View through CrossRef
Glanzmann thrombasthenia is a rare clotting disorder caused by impaired platelet function that can present with unexplained bruising. We present the case of a 4-month-old girl and outline the assessment and management of this condition, as well as an algorithm for the evaluation of abnormal bleeding and bruising.
