Overview

Patients with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia may be asymptomatic, or they could manifest mucosal bleeding, ecchymoses, petechiae and purpura or current bleeding on physical exam.

Physical examination

Patients with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia may be asymptomatic, or they could manifest mucosal bleeding, ecchymoses, petechiae and purpura or current bleeding on physical exam.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Abdomen

The spleen is usually non palpable

Neuromuscular

  • Patient is usually oriented to persons, place, and time
