Changes in platelet counts caused by valproate in children with epilepsy
Ju Hee We, Young Mi Kim, Sang Ook Nam
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2009;52(1):75-80.   Published online January 15, 2009
Purpose : In adults, valproate (VPA) has been reported to be associated with thrombocytopenia. However, few studies have investigated this association in children, and the factors affecting platelet counts remain controversial. This study was undertaken to investigate changes in platelet counts following VPA therapy and related factors in children with epilepsy. Methods : Our subjects comprised 75 epileptic children who...
Platelet count and mean platelet volume in low birth weight infants (≤2,000 g) with sepsis
Wan-soo Lee, Jin-young Cho, Seung-taek Yoo, Chang-woo Lee, Doo-young Choi, Jong-duck Kim, Yeon-kyun Oh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2007;50(7):643-648.   Published online July 15, 2007
Purpose : Sepsis is a common complication in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU), seen especially in low birth weight (LBW) infants. A recent study showed that fungal or gram-negative sepsis is associated with a greater degree of thrombocytopenia than is seen with gram-positive sepsis. So, this study was undertaken to examine the platelet counts and platelet indices in LBW infants...
Study on Platelet Countsand Indices in Neonates
Kyoung Hee Choi, Sung Soo Rim, Byung Min Moon, Ki Bok Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(3):338-345.   Published online March 15, 1996
Purpose : The platelet number alone does not give a complete picture of platelet maturity and function, therefore, the platelet indices have been the subject of intensive study in recent years, but they have not been firmly established in the neonates. Methods : Blood samples collected in K2 EDTA bottle from femoral vein of 176 neonates (54 healthy fullterm, 96...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(3):340-347.   Published online March 31, 1991
The importance of establishing authentic normal platelet count, mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width in the newborn has been emphasized, but they have not been firmly established. We have presented values for platelet count, mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width in the venous blood of term, small for gestational age and premature neonates at postnatal day 1 and 7. The results were...
Effect of Phototherapy on Platelet Count in premature Infant.
Heung Kyu Kim, Young Kyoung Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1983;26(1):34-40.   Published online January 31, 1983
The effect of phototherapy on platelet counts performed on thirty premature infants weighing less than 2,300 grams and thirty fullterm infants with hyperbilirubmemia. Platelet counts were also performed on twenty nine healthy premature infants weighing less than 2,300 grams and thirty full-term infants as oontrol group. The following results were observed: 1) There was no significant difference in platelet counts during phototherapy on premature...
A study in The Changes of Platelet Count in iron Deficiency Anemia among Children.
Nam Ae Kim, Kir Young Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1982;25(10):1015-1021.   Published online October 31, 1982
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common nutritional anemia among chidren. A study on the changes of platelet count in IDA was conducted with 83 children who were diagnosed at the Severance Hospital in a 5 J/2-year pericd from Jan. 1975 to Jun. 1981. The results are summarized as follows. 1. IDA was most common among chidren younger than 2-years(61%) due to nutritional deficiency. It...
Platelet Counts in Healthy Premature Infants.
Heung Kyu Kim, You Nam Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1981;24(9):805-811.   Published online September 15, 1981
Serial platelet counts performed at four day intervals on forty two healthy premature infants whose birth weights were less than 2200 grams. The forty two infants were divided into two groups: twelve premature infants weighing less than 1700 grams, and thirty prematures infants weighing over 1700 grams at birth. We evaluated the length of time for the platetet counts of...
