Erythromelalgia in an Infant Caused by Adenovirus Gastroenteritis
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Reviews and Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
Reactive thrombocytosis (RT) is typically a result of bacterial infections in children. RT due to viruses is rarely seen and is most often secondary to a respiratory tract infection. Erythromelalgia (EM) is a rare condition caused by arteriovenous shunting and reduced capillary perfusion. Thrombocytosis can cause microvascular thrombi and can result in EM.
