چکیده
march 2012 25 © 2012 Human Kinetics IJATT 17(2), pp. 25-28 Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a syndrome characterized by a low platelet count in the peripheral blood that is not related to marrow failure.1 ITP is a relatively common syndrome of unknown origin that is increasingly recognized. Approximately 66 adults and 50 children per 1,000,000 are diagnosed with ITP annually.2 The population of athletes with ITP, however, is not currently reported in the literature. The ability to recognize its signs and symptoms and referral for further evaluation is critical for the treatment of patients who are otherwise healthy. Childhood and adult onset of ITB have identical clinical presentations, and treatment is the same but the prognosis differs. The majority of cases in children are diagnosed between two and nine years of age, whereas adult-onset ITB can be manifested between 20 and 50 years of age. Adult ITP (ITP-A) has a slower onset, no prodromal illness, and appears to be idiopathic.3 ChildJoe J. Piccininni, EdD, CAT(C), Report Editor
