Overview

Glanzman’s thrombasthenia must be differentiated from other diseases that cause severe hemorrhages , mucocutaneous bleeding , petechiae and ecchymosis, such as platelet disorders (like : Bernard-Soulier syndrome,platelet storage pool defects,platelet-type von Willebrand disease and gray platelet syndrome), Fibrinogen abnormalities ,(eg Afibrinogenemia), Von Willebrand Disease and Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome.

Differential Diagnoses

Platelet Disorders (like : Bernard-Soulier syndrome,platelet storage pool defects,platelet-type von Willebrand disease and gray platelet syndrome)^[1]Bernard-Soulier Syndrome^[2]
