A SURGICAL CASE OF GASTRIC CANCER ASSOCIATED WITH IDIOPATHIC THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA (ITP)

A Case Study of Silent Thyroiditis Associated with Idiopathic ُThrombocytopenic Purpura

A 48 Year-old woman had symptoms of thyrotoxicosis which disappeared spontaneously within two months. She was diagnosed as case of silent thyroiditis on the basis of both the clinical course and the laboratory data such as low uptake of radioactive Iodine and Technesium. She also had petechia in her arms which were diagnosed as an idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (I.T.P.). This case would se...

About treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).

Their treatment results with megadose methylprednisolone (MDMP) support fairly closely our complete remission results, though theirs was a retrospective evaluation. In our prospective, comparative study, antiplatelet antibodies were also determined3. Their 80% complete remission rate (mistakenly written as 66% in the text) with MDMP administration was much better than other therapeutic approach...

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) in children.

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in children remits spontaneously in the majority of cases but most children require treatment. Between 1995 and 2005, 265 children (0-15 years old) have been consecutively observed and treated: 28 children with high doses of methylprednisolone (HDMP) (15 mg/kgx4 days), 63 with HDMP (7.5 mg/kgx4 days), 37 with HD dexamethasone (DXM) pulses, 29 with low doses o...

Co-existence of Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)

Helicobacter pylori Eradication in Adult Patients with Acute Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP)

Background and Objective: Different studies have investigated the link between helicobacter pylori and extra digestive diseases such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. However, the relationship between ITP and H pylori is less clear. Most of the studies have focused on H pylori eradication in chronic ITP, so we focused on the effect of H pylori eradication on chronicity of ITP in adult pat...
