Infant with petechiae and high white blood cell count Posted: 03-17-08 22:19pm


I am so confused! My Ped noticed that my son had a few petechiae (broken blood capillaries under his skin) about a month ago. She said if it got worse to bring him back... Well... it's WORSE, WAY WORSE! I was sent o the ER, blood work was fine except for high White Blood Cell count & high Lymph count. They are at a loss because he has NO fever & NO other symptoms. Has this ever happened to anyone else? HELP!!! They are sending me to an Infectious Disease doctor now... I am so confused. Can anyone HELP?!?

Sorry no one got back to you? How is your baby and what was the diagnosis? Was it ITP or similar disorder?
