[The behaviour of platelets in some viral infectious diseases in childhood (author's transl)]. 1980

P L Tucci, and F Tucci, and P F Peruzzi

To evidentiate a participation clinically not evident of thrombocytes during viral infections, the Authors performed platelets count in 207 children of age varying 7 months to 12 years from the diagnosis and during the course of the illness. A subclinical thrombocytopenia was revealed in 55% of children affected by measles, in 25% of mumps, in 45% of varicella, in 30% of german measles and in 55% of infectious mononucleosis. In all the cases we didn't observe hemorrhagic manifestations and platelets count has come back to normal and higher levels spontaneously. Previously the Authors discuss pathogenetic ways which may have a role in subclinically thrombocytopenia during viral infectious diseases.

D008457 Measles A highly contagious infectious disease caused by MORBILLIVIRUS, common among children but also seen in the nonimmune of any age, in which the virus enters the respiratory tract via droplet nuclei and multiplies in the epithelial cells, spreading throughout the MONONUCLEAR PHAGOCYTE SYSTEM. Rubeola
D009107 Mumps An acute infectious disease caused by RUBULAVIRUS, spread by direct contact, airborne droplet nuclei, fomites contaminated by infectious saliva, and perhaps urine, and usually seen in children under the age of 15, although adults may also be affected.

D002644 Chickenpox A highly contagious infectious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (HERPESVIRUS 3, HUMAN). It usually affects children, is spread by direct contact or respiratory route via droplet nuclei, and is characterized by the appearance on the skin and mucous membranes of successive crops of typical pruritic vesicular lesions that are easily broken and become scabbed. Chickenpox is relatively benign in children, but may be complicated by pneumonia and encephalitis in adults. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Varicella,Chicken Pox
