FRAGMENTO
Tras el nacimiento de su primera hija, comenzaron a aparecer moretones en el cuerpo de Stanley Finger. Despertado súbitamente la mayoría de las noches por el llanto de su bebé, Finger, semidormido, tropezaba al dirigirse hacia la habitación de aquél, golpeándose contra las paredes y los muebles en la oscuridad. “Mi esposa y yo bromeábamos al respecto”, dice Finger, ingeniero químico de Bluffton, Carolina del Sur. Sin embargo, durante un chequeo rutinario, Finger se enteró de que la causa de la facilidad con la que le salían moretones era que el número de sus plaquetas estaba disminuyendo drásticamente. El cuerpo depende de estos fragmentos celulares para la coagulación, y la cuenta de plaquetas de Finger había bajado a casi un tercio de su valor normal. Después de descartar el cáncer y otras enfermedades, el doctor de Finger llegó finalmente a un diagnóstico: púrpura trombocitopénica inmune (PTI).
