Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and MMR vaccine.
A CAUSAL ASSOCIATION BETWEEN MEASLES: mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) was confirmed using immunisation/hospital admission record linkage. The absolute risk within six weeks of immunisation was 1 in 22 300 doses, with two of every three cases occurring in the six week post-immunisation period being caused by MMR. Children with ITP before MMR had no vacci...

The disease is reviewed with reference...

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 and neuropathy: A case report and review
Mononeuropathy multiplex is a rare disorder associated with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Extrinsic compression due to hematoma, intraneural bleed and immune mediated nerve injury are reported mechanisms of neuropathy.
