Overview
History
History taking is one of the most important steps in diagnosing Glanzmann's thrombasthenia.
GT is diagnosed at the neonatal age or early childhood, commonly before the age of 5 and the early manifestations are mostly easily bruising, mucocutaneous bleeding, epistaxis due to digital manipulation or a sever hemorrhage after a surgery, such as circumcision. [1] The severity of the presenting symptoms has no known relation to the affected gene. However mutations in the ITGB3 gene manifest bleeding more than the other gene .[2]
Symptoms
Symptoms of Glanzmann's thrombasthenia varies from a minor bruise to a life-threatening hemorrhage
It may include any of the following manifestation:
- Easily bruising (76.6%)
- Nosebleeds that do not stop easily (62.5%)
- Bleeding gums (56.4%)
- Prolonged bleeding with minor injuries (47.2%)
- Heavy menstrual bleeding
- postpartum bleeding
- gastrointestinal bleeding
- Heavy bleeding during and after surgery
- bleeding into joints (rare) [3]
