Why would the blood platlets drop on a new boorn?
There are several causes for the blood platelets to drop on a newborn baby. A few reasons for the drop in platelets are a bruise, thrombocytopenic purpura, or neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia.
How many platelets are in 1 drop of blood?
Whole blood is divided into three parts: red blood cells, plasma, and platelets. So, there are essentially no platelets in a unit of blood. Those that are in a unit of blood are not functional as they have been stored in the refrigerator and are weeks old. Platelets need to be stored at room temperature and used within a week of collection.
What blood cells are found in a drop of blood.?
In a normal drop of blood you will find red blood cells, white blood cells: Neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, basophils and platelets (not cells, but parts of megakaryocytes - cells formed in the bone marrow).

What is the composition of one drop of blood?

Plasma (90%) and then the other 10% is Leukocytes, thrombocytes, and erythrocytes....... AKA- White blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. sup peeps

Blood cells. The largest compartment of blood cells are the red blood cells (also called erythrocytes), but you would also see white blood cells (including lymphocytes and phagocytes) and some platelets.

This test helps in diagnosing various blood disorders and infections.
What is wrong if you have a low platelet count?
Thrombocytopenia, or thrombopenia, is defined as the abnormally low presence or absence of platelets in blood. Platelets are small cell fragments found in blood that are essential for hemostasis and formation of clots. A normal platelet count for an adult is 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microlitre of blood. However, there are always anomalies where people may have exceedingly high or low levels of platelets and still be perfectly healthy. However, when platelet counts drop to levels below 50,000 platelets per microlitre, a patient is generally defined as having clinic thrombocytopenia. Symptoms of thrombopenia include bruising that does not go away (purpura), small haemorrhages on skin and mucous membranes, blood filled bubbles in mouth, nosebleeds and bleeding gums. People may feel generally ill, with fatigue and weakness. Severe thrombopenia leads to spontaneous bruising on body. These symptoms occur because platelets serve to clot broken blood vessels. Clotting is a mechanism where platelets are sent to a broken are of vein, artery, or capillary, where they congeal into a mass that staunches bleeding. When one does not have enough platelets, the body is unable to stop bleeding in an efficient manner.
