TODO - The relationship between reactive thrombocytosis and the level of urinary tract infections was studied in 48 children. Platelets were counted before, during and after treatment. Reactive thrombocytosis was noticed in 74% of children with upper and in 14% with lower urinary tract infections. A significant rise in the platelet count presented in another five children (15%) with upper urinary tract infections. Conclusion: Reactive thrombocytosis was found almost exclusively in the renal parenchymal infections, usually during the recovery phase.
