Abstract: | A defect in a serum thromboplastic component was found in six patients withsevere thrombocytopenic purpura in addition to the platelet thromboplasticdefect.The defective sera returned to normal spontaneously upon storage at -20 C.The addition of washed normal platelets during coagulation completely corrected the serum defect in the one instance in which it was possible to carry outthe experiment.It was postulated that a platelet factor was primarily at fault, resulting in thelack of immediate activation of a serum thromboplastic component.The two thromboplastic defects are cumulative and are possibly dependentupon separate platelet factors.
