Background: Pseudothrombocytopenia is a spurious thrombocytopenia caused mostly by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) use, and if detected early, unnecessary testing and treatment can be avoided. We present pseudothrombocytopenia caused by EDTA and citrate in an asymptomatic healthy child, as well as the value of using peripheral blood smear, platelet histogram, and flag data.
Case: A previously healthy 13-year-old girl with thrombocytopenia who developed tonsillitis 12 days previously was referred to our hematology department.

Pseudothrombocytopenia or artefactual thrombocytopenia is an abnormally low number of platelets due to their agglutination in a sample tube, with no ex vivo clinical translation. It occurs in ethylene diamine tetraacetic (EDTA) test tubes. Non-EDTA anticoagulants, such as citrate, fluoride oxalate, and heparin lithium, may be responsible for it, alone or in combination.
