Epidemiology of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura in Children
Abstract Background Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a common autoimmune bleeding condition in children that is characterized by a decrease in the platelet count. The aims of this study were to define epidemiologic features of patients with primary ITP who were admitted to Mofid Children's Hospital, Tehran, Iran, in a 5-year period. Methods We retrospectively studied the records of ...
متن کاملIdiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in children usually a self limiting disorder. It may follow a viral infection or immunisation and is caused by an inappropriate response of the immune system. About 20-30% of children will fail to remit over six months (chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura). This is more likely in older children, especially girls. The disease is reviewed with reference...
متن کاملIdiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in children
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is the most common acquired bleeding disorder in childhood. ITP is characterized by a lo� circulating platelet count caused principally by destruction of antibody-coated platelets in the reticuloendothelial system. It can be classified into t�o major forms, acute and chronic. Acute ITP is usually a benign self-limiting condition �ith a high probability ...
متن کاملIdiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and pregnancy.
ITP is the most common autoimmune disease during pregnancy. Whereas the maternal risk due to the extreme thrombocytopenia can be calculated, the risk to the foetus is difficult to predict. As there is no correlation between maternal and foetal platelet count, no generalisations can be made as to the preferable method of delivery. The methods of treatment with special reference to pregnancy and ...
متن کاملIdiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura: current concepts in pathophysiology and management.
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is characterized by a low platelet count, which is the result of both increased platelet destruction and insufficient platelet production. Although the development of autoantibodies against platelet glycoproteins remains central in the pathophysiology of ITP, several abnormalities involving the cellular mechanisms of immune modulation have been identifi...
