  schema:description "Chemotherapy can lower platelets, the blood cells that stop bleeding. A child who is not bleeding is usually given a platelet transfusion only when the count falls below 10, because giving them earlier does not prevent more bleeding. Higher counts are needed before a lumbar puncture or surgery, and for a child who is bleeding."@en ;
