Symptoms prevalent in primary Thrombocytosis are notably absent.
This is normal in primary Thrombocytosis.
Establish whether there are any symptoms of primary Thrombocytosis.
There are differences of opinion on management of the Thrombocytosis[2].
Blood tests Complete blood count may reveal
normocytic anemia and eventually Thrombocytosis.
Usually the Thrombocytosis resolves once the underlying condition has been treated.
It has been used in the treatment of primary Thrombocytosis for over 30 years[2].
However, sometimes the Thrombocytosis does not occur at the same time as the underlying condition.
It is often possible to determine from history and examination whether the Thrombocytosis is primary or secondary.
However, there are other haematological diseases which can cause Thrombocytosis, including other myeloproliferative neoplasms(MPNs),
myelodysplastic syndromes(MDS) and overlap syndromes.
Desquamation of the fingers and toes and Thrombocytosis are seen during this stage, which
generally lasts until about four weeks after the onset of fever.

It is important to
distinguish between true haematological disease causing Thrombocytosis and secondary or reactive Thrombocytosis caused by an exaggerated physiological response to a primary problem.
Mutations in the key regulators of thrombopoietin, the thrombopoietin receptor MPL and JAK2, are found in 50-60% of patients with essential thrombocythaemia or primary myelofibrosis and
in 10-20% of hereditary Thrombocytosis.
