SLE Thrombocytopenia: From Peripheral Platelet Destruction to Central Hemopoietic Defect
نویسنده
چکیده
Thrombocytopenia in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is a common clinical manifestation affecting up to one third of patients in published cohorts. Antiplatelet antibodies, antithrombopoietin antibodies and faulty hemopoiesis have been implicated among other immunologic and non-immunologic causes. This mini review is an uptodate summary of these immunologic phenomena.

Isolated thrombocytopenia report of a rare presentation of childhood Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has various presentations in children. Hematologic abnormalities is common in childhood onset of SLE, however, isolated thrombocytopenia is relatively rare. Thus, we present a child with isolated thrombocytopenia as a rare presentation of SLE. Case presentation: A 12-year-old boy with chief complaints of loss of appetite, weight loss, decrease...
متن کاملThe management of peripheral blood cytopenias in systemic lupus erythematosus.
Haematological complications are frequently seen in SLE. Anaemia, leucopenias and thrombocytopenia may result from bone marrow failure or excessive peripheral cell destruction, both of which may be immune mediated. Drugs and infection are other common causes. In this review, we will focus on the diagnosis and management of immune-mediated leucopenias and thrombocytopenia in SLE. The roles of bo...
متن کاملIncreased platelet destruction in infancy and childhood.
The number of platelets in the peripheral blood of healthy children, full-term, and premature infants falls into the same range as that of adults. Thrombocytopenia, defined as a platelet count of less than 150,000/mm(<150 × 10/L), may be due to decreased production, splenic sequestration, or increased platelet destruction. The following is a review of disorders involving the last mechanism, all...

Background: Immune thrombocytopenia is a hematologic disorder characterized by low platelet count and variable bleeding manifestations due to immune-mediated platelet destruction and/or suppression of platelet production. This study was performed to evaluate characteristics and clinical presentations of adult patients with immune thrombocytopenia and to explore the clinical value of platelet an...
متن کاملPLATELETS AND THROMBOPOIESIS Thymic retention of CD4 CD25 FoxP3 T regulatory cells is associated with their peripheral deficiency and thrombocytopenia in a murine model of immune thrombocytopenia
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a bleeding disorder in which antibodies and/or T cells lead to enhanced peripheral platelet destruction and reduced bone marrow platelet production. Several reports have observed that ITP is associated with a peripheral deficiency of tolerance-inducing CD4 CD25 FoxP3 T regulatory cells (Tregs). Using a murine model of ITP, we analyzed Tregs in the spleen and thy...
