چکیده
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia. The estimated incidence is 100 cases per 1,000,000 patients, and half of the cases are seen in children. In children, the gender distribution is equal, whereas in adults, women are three times more likely to be affected than are men. ITP is defined as chronic if it lasts for longer than 6 months. Eighty percent of children with ITP have the acute form, whereas 80% of adults with ITP develop the chronic illness.
