Haematological analysis of a blood sample will show '''thrombocytopaenia''', often with extremely low platelet counts (e.g. 1-5x10^9/l). There may be a reactive [[Neutrophilia|neutrophilia]] and other features of a [[Stress leucogram|stress leucogram]]. Examination of a blood smear may show evidence of '''microthrombocytes''' (small platelets that have been partially phagocytosed by cells of the MPS, similar to spherocytes in IMHA) or immature '''macrothrombocytes''' (a sign of bone marrow platelet regeneration). The patient may be anaemic in cases of Evan’s syndrome or if significant haemorrhage has occurred.
