What Is The Cause Of Bruising In A Child?

My grandson is 7 years old and has lots of energy, but he getting brused on his body. He was checked by his doctor, and had blood work done. His white and red blood cell are very low, and platelet count also very low. He was in the hospital for more blood work and bone marrow test, - Ruled out Lukiema and something about Aplastic Aniema. Doctors cannot figure out what is wrong. He feels fine, just the brusies he gets from jumping running and falling. I started giving he red meat which he rarely eats.

Hi, he may have this due to either low platelet count or due to some coagulation abnormality. More over he also have low rbc and wbc so he is suffering from pancytopenia. Bone marrow examination is ideal test for that.so go for it and also go for coagulation profile study. Frim this you will mostly get the cause.then treat accordingly.
