Abstract
INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES: Glanzmann thrombasthenia(GT) is a rare inherited thrombocytopathy characterized by insufficient platelet aggregation and normal platelet count. The genetic molecular feature of GT is deficiency or dysfunction of the platelet integrin αIIbβ3(CD41/CD61) receptor for fi-
brinogen, resulting in bleeding episodes of varying severity. In general, the presence of mucocutaneous bleeding and a normal platelet count raise the suspicion of this disorder. We report a case of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in a patient with GT.
