Thrombocytopenia is a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of platelets in the blood. However, falsely low platelet counts, or pseudothrombocytopenia (PTCP), though easily unrecognized, are found in clinical cases. It is an in vitro phenomenon caused by platelet clumping that results in reporting of a spuriously low platelet count by automatic hematology analyzers.
