MUDr. Jan Hadač

Pediatr. pro Praxi, 2006; 1: 31-34  

Similarly as in adults we can encounter various disorders of seizure character that more or less resemble epileptic attacks. An incorrect diagnosis of epilepsy places a child into an unnecessary stress and risks associated with antiepileptic treatment, regardless the negative consequences in psychological and social area. In addition. many clinical entities have a suitable treatment. Somatically dependant attacks prevail among nonepileptic seizures. Many of them are related to a certain period of child development. Psychologically dependent attacks manifest rather in older school age or adolescence.

It is usually extremely difficult to differentiate primary thrombocytosis from reactive one on basis of clinical and laboratory finding. Authors present current opinion on pathogenesis and clinical consideration of primary and secondary thrombocytosis...
