Platelet Count and Mean Platelet Volume in an Algerian Population Indicating a Low Prevalence of Mediterranean Macrothrombocytopenia

Platelet count was 225 × 10⁹/l in 225 healthy male Algerians and 263 × 10⁹/l in 208 females. The mean platelet volume was 9.15 fl in the males and 9.30 in the females. The figures agree with those obtained in a British and an American population, but differed from those of an Australian population o...

Zusammenfassung:Platelet count was 225 × 10⁹/l in 225 healthy male Algerians and 263 × 10⁹/l in 208 females. The mean platelet volume was 9.15 fl in the males and 9.30 in the females. The figures agree with those obtained in a British and an American population, but differed from those of an Australian population of immigrants from Mediterranean countries, essentially Italy and Greece. The prevalence of Mediterranean thrombocytopenia must therefore be low in Algeria.
