I am doing a case study on thrombocytopenia do you have any information or advise?

do you know anywhere i can view a sample

First of all, Thrombocytopenia is not a respiratory disease. It means that you don't have enough platelets. Platelets are the little cells that come to the surface when you cut yourself, stick together like Velcro, and form a scab. It can be life threatening, because not enough platelets could mean that a small injury could result in bleeding to death. Here is an example of a case study.

A case study. As in a medical case study? haha If this is for a medical case study, you better not be getting your info. here. Try looking at top journals written by M.D.'s at the top of their field.
