HLA AND IDIOPATHIC THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA (ITP)

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...

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...

Childhood Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (itp): over 40 Year Experiences

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder. Decreased platelet survival is the main pathogenesis of it, which is related to platelet antibodies (APA). The levels of these antibodies are correlated with relapse and remission which was shown first time by us. Although APA levels decrease in remission but not risappear as studied by us. Among the several approches about IT...
