Congenital Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia
Congenital amegacariocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT) is a rare genetic disease of the hematopoietic system, which is characterized by the development of thrombocytopenia and megakaryocytopenia. The doctor who discovered the pathology begins immediate treatment. Unfortunately, it is difficult to suspect the presence of pathology, since in the initial stages the pathology develops without symptoms.
Specialists of the leading Israeli clinic Tel Aviv Medical Clinic are engaged in the treatment of diseases of the hematopoietic system in children. Thanks to the latest equipment, it is possible to detect the disease with 100-th accuracy. Our doctors have extensive knowledge and skills, as well as find an approach to the child. We’re using innovative therapies.
Symptoms of the disease
Many patients at an early age are identified with the presence of the disease. The parents of the baby may notice the following signs:
- Bleeding;
- Pale skin;
- Reduced appetite and body weight;
- Increase in body temperature;
- General malaise;
- Appearance of skin pigmentation;
- GI organ disorder and others.
A qualified child doctor will conduct a comprehensive examination of the body and make a correct diagnosis.
Diagnosis and treatment of the disease

To make a correct diagnosis, the doctor uses the following methods:
- Examination and collection of a history of the disease;
- Blood and urine test;
- ULTRASOUND;
- Radiography;
- CT with contrast;
- PET-CT;
- Osteoscintigraphy;
- Puncture;

Based on the data obtained, the doctor selects an individual therapy program that takes into account the peculiarities of the baby’s development. The most effective method of getting rid of pathology is a bone marrow transplant. Clinic specialists also use drug therapy to relieve the course of symptoms.
