thrombocytopenia

Explanation:

• Thrombocytopenia is defined as a low platelet count (less than 100,000 platelets per microliter of blood).
• Thrombopoiesis is the production of platelets, not a condition of low count.
• Thrombocytosis is a high platelet count.
• Leukopenia is a low white blood cell count, not related to platelets.
• Hemopoiesis is blood cell production, not a platelet - count - related disorder.
