Résumé

Accurate identification of the proportion of young platelets is important to distinguish peripheral thrombocytopenia from a deficit in platelet production. Young platelets are defined by their higher RNA content and are often assessed as thiazole orange bright (TO ) by flow cytometry. In clinical practice, their proportion is estimated by automatic blood counter according to their greater RNA content which identify a so-called "immature" platelet fraction (IPF). However, the detected IPFs are not strictly identical to the young TO platelet population observed by flow cytometry.
