Clinical characteristics of immune thrombocytopenia associated with autoimmune disease
To clarify clinical characteristics of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) subsets associated with autoimmune diseases (AIDs).Five thousand five hundred twenty patients were reviewed retrospectively. One hundred four ITP patients were included for analysis. Clinical manifestations at first thrombocytopenic episode were recorded.Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and primary Sjogren syndrome (pSS) acc...
متن کاملNeonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia complicated by maternal autoimmune thrombocytopenia.
Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia should be suspected in any thrombocytopenic infant born to a healthy non-thrombocytopenic mother. Nevertheless, the condition occurs in only 1 or 2/10 000 births.' More often transient neonatal immune thrombocytopenia results from maternal idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. We report the coexistence of alloimmunisation and autoimmunisation against platelet...
متن کاملMaternal autoimmune thrombocytopenia and the newborn.
That a humoral factor was the causative agent in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura was suggested nearly 30 years ago after the observation that mothers with the disease often give birth to children who develop transient thrombocytopenia.1 Maternal platelet autoantibodies were presumed to pass into the fetal circulation. With present techniques2 3 platelet autoantibodies are detectable in most...
متن کاملPlatelet-bound IgM in autoimmune thrombocytopenia.
Elevated levels of platelet-bound IgG (PA-IgG) are a feature of autoimmune thrombocytopenia (ATP), but it is well documented that this does not occur in all cases. This has led us to investigate the role of platelet-bound IgM (PA-IgM) in these patients using a quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Forty-five determinations of PA-IgM and PA-IgG were done on 24 patients with ATP...
متن کاملSpecificity of autoantibodies in autoimmune thrombocytopenia.
In 42 patients with autoimmune thrombocytopenia (AITP) and a positive direct platelet suspension immunofluorescence test (PSIFT), the antigenic specificity of the autoantibodies was studied. Because the autoantibodies were often not detectable in the serum and additional HLA antibodies may disturb the reaction pattern with the platelet panel, we used eluates prepared from the patients' platelet...
