Abstract
Pseudothrombocytopenia is usually associated with anticoagulant ethylene diaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The platelet clumping that occurs in EDTA-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia (EDPT) can sometimes be prevented by the use of other anticoagulants such as heparin or sodium citrate. As an alternative, we used kanamycin before or after the withdrawal of EDTA-anticoagulated blood in a 6-year-old boy with EDPT. Kanamycin used supplementarily during the differentiation of EDPT effectively prevented platelet clumping.
