The association of preeclampsia with thrombocytopenia and prolonged bleeding time is reported The analysis of bleeding time (Simplate II) and the platelet count (Automatic Coulter Counter) in 41 patients with different grades of preeclampsia is presented. Our results suggest that the decrease in the bleeding time observed in moderate preeclampsia and the increase observed in severe preeclampsia are not mainly dependent on the platelet count.
