 Hello,Glanzmann thrombasthenia is also known as weak platelet disease.Platelets are small cells which help to control bleeding.In this rare condition affecting iraqi,and arab descent population, leads individual platelets unable to aggregate plug a bleeding area even though they may be present in adequate numbers.Minor injuries can lead to bleeding like of gums,nose and in females, during menstruation excessive bleeding.
Platelets transfusions help but then slowly even these cells develop resistence and become weak.Administration of recombinat factor viia is a newer therapeutic option.
Best wishes.
