Abstract
Thrombocytosis is not a simple marker of inflammation. Its presence warrants thorough investigation for the presence of severe underlying disease, mostly complicated pyogenic infections, inflammatory rheumatic diseases and malignancy. Moreover, thrombocytosis is a marker for major complications and is an independent predictor of mortality in admitted medical patients.
