What is NOT correct? 1. Thrombocytosis is common in hospitalized children 2. Thrombocytosis is often secondary to an infection 3. Thrombocytosis is often seen in patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) 4. The risk of thrombosis is high in children with extreme thrombocytosis
What is NOT correct? 1. Thrombocytosis is common in hospitalized children Thrombocytosis in 6-15% of hospitalized children 2. Thrombocytosis is often secondary to an infection Thrombocytosis in children is most often secondary to infection or inflammation and many other causes 3. Thrombocytosis is often seen in patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) Thrombocytosis in children is common in patients with IDA 4. The risk of thrombosis is high in children with extreme thrombocytosis Thrombosis is uncommon among children (as compared to adults with extreme thrombocytosis)
What is NOT recommended in this situation? 1. Start treatment with low-dose Aspirin (ASA) 2. Look for less obvious reasons for reactive thrombocytosis as coeliac disease, rheumatic disease, allergy, kidney disease, malignancy.. 3. Wait and see follow blood counts
What is NOT recommended in this situation? 1. Start treatment with low-dose Aspirin (ASA) ASA is NOT recommended in patients with thrombocytes >1500 due to increased risk of bleeding and should be used with caution in children less than 12 years of age due to the risk of Reye syndrome 2. Look for less obvious reasons for reactive thrombocytosis as coeliac disease, rheumatic disease, allergy, kidney disease, malignancy.. 3. Wait and see follow blood counts

Is this an example of reactive or essential thrombocytosis? 1. Reactive Thrombocythosis 2. Essential Thrombocythemia
Is this an example of reactive or essential thrombocytosis? 1. Reactive Thrombocythosis I believe this is a case of reactive thrombocytosis although no underlying condition could be identified. Spontaneous remisson of ET is not described Sparse clinical checkups and blood counts are planned 2. Essential Thrombocythemia
Trombocytos Trombocytos är vanligt fynd när man tar fullständigt blodstatus Är oftast övergående Vanligare hos yngre barn Förekommer sekundärt till bakomliggande medicinsk sjukdom (reaktiv trombocytos) Infektion Inflammation - allergi - transplantat-mot-värd-reaktion (GVHD) - IBD eller celiaki - reumatiska sjukdomar - brännskador Brist av vitaminer och spårämnen - järn - kobalamin - vitamin E Aspleni/post-splenektomi Malignitet Nylig kirurgi, trauma eller blodförlust Nefrit/nefros Pankreatit Hemolytisk anemi Läkemedel - Adrenalin - β-laktamantibiotika - Kortikosteoider - Lågmolekylärt heparin (LMWH) baserad på Hofmann, J Hematopathol, 2015
Reactive Thrombocythosis (RT) Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) in childhood Common RT in 6-15% of hospitalized children Mostly <2 years Platelet count mostly <800 x10 9 /l Duration: wks, months, temporary (Hepato)splenomegaly rare Few symptoms Thrombosis and bleeding disorders extremely rare Increased megakaryocyte number, normal morphology No mutations 0,1-1 per million children/year 2,5 per 100 000 adults/year Median age in children 11 years Platelet mostly >1000 x10 9 /l Months, years, or permanently (Hepato)splenomegaly (20%) Some have symptoms- headache Thrombosis and bleeding disorders common among adults, less in children and rare in familiar thrombocytemia Increased megakaryocyte number with large and mature morphology with hyperlobated nuclei Adults often mutation children?

Kriterier för Essentiell trombocytemi Samtliga 4 kriterier ska vara uppfyllda för diagnos: 1. Kvarstående TPK >450 10 9 /L. 2. Benmärgsbiopsi som visar proliferation i megakaryopoesen med ökat antal förstorade mogna megakaryocyter; ingen vänsterförskjutning av neutrofil granulopoes eller erytropoes. 3. Uppfyller ej kriterier för PV A, PMF B, CML C, MDS D eller annan myeloid neoplasi 4. Påvisad mutation i JAK2 eller annan klonal markör, eller i avsaknad av klonal markör inga bevis för reaktiv trombocytos. Kommentarer: A. Om ferritin är lågt ska inte järnsubstituion öka Hb till onormalt hög nivå. B. Frånvaro av retikulinfibros, kollagenfibros, perifer leukoerytroblastos, hypercellulär benmärg för åldern med megakaryocytmorfologi som vid PMF. C. Frånvaro av BCR-ABL. D. Frånvaro av dyserytropoes och -granulopoes. VPH Vårdprogram Trombocytos och polycytemi/erytrocytos
Essential Thrombocytemia - diagnosis WHO definition: Sustained platelet count >450x10 9 /l Bone marrow biopsy showing increased megakaryocyte numbers displaying large and mature morphology with hyperlobated nuclei and no significant increase or left-shift of neutrophil granulopoiesis or erythropoiesis Exclusion of PV, primary myelofibrosis, chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or other myeloid neoplasms Demonstration of JAK2 or other clonal marker, or, in the absence no evidence for reactive thrombocytosis.

Take home message 1. Reaktiv trombocytos är vanligt hos barn 2. Om reaktiv trombocytos är utesluten och barnet har fortsatt svår eller extrem trombocytos remiss till tertiär nivå för utredning för att utesluta MPN/ET 3. Vid MPN/ET utredning motiverat med genetisk utredning avseende mutationer associerade med MPN/ET hos vuxna
