Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura: predictors of chronic disease.
We studied the extent to which patient characteristics influenced outcome in childhood idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in a historical cohort of 289 children over a 20 year period (1968-87). Outcome was classified as acute or chronic depending on whether the platelet count had returned to normal (150 X 10(9)/l) by six months after diagnosis. Fifty three cases (18%) had chronic idiopathic th...
متن کاملEpidemiology 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 کاملChronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura: mechanisms of pathogenesis.
The mechanism of idiopathic (autoimmune) thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) has historically been attributed to platelet autoantibody production and the resultant platelet destruction. More recent evidence suggests a multifactorial pathogenesis. A complex picture of the immune processes involved in autoimmunity has emerged over the last decade with the identification and characterization of immunor...
متن کاملUnusual presentation of chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
A snakebite victim presented with normal clotting profile and a low platelet count. A routine CBC in his past records (February 2004) showed a platelet count of 20,000/microlitre, but the patient was not symptomatic. We report a case of chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, incidentally found in a patient presenting with snakebite. The patient also has acquired primary testicular failure...
متن کاملAnticoagulant therapy in chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
By RIai iiD J. COHEN, LEWIS H. DENNIS AND MARCEL E. CONRAD T HE PARENTERAL ADMINISTRATION of small doses of heparin to normal adults1 and to patients with arteriosclerotic heart disease2 has no measurable effect on blood platelet economy. However, larger amounts of heparin1 and therapeutic doses of bishydroxycoumarin ( Dicumarol) distinctly prolong tile survival of circulating platelets.3’4 The...
