Background: Children with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura who are treated with intravenous immunoglobulin therapy might experience a decline in their absolute neutrophil count. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of neutropenia following intravenous immunoglobulin therapy in children with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura undergoing intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. ...

bakcground: the aim of itp treatment is to prevent intracranial hemorrhage and increase the platelet count rapidly. this study was conducted with the objective of comparing the efficacy of anti-d immunoglobulin (ig) with dexamethasone in treating childhood itp. materials and methods: in this randomized prospective control trial, 20 itp patients (platelet count< 20,000/µl) younger than 16 were s...

mental stress and daily crises comprise a part of physical and mental threats. perceived stress is a physical and mental threat, as well. perceived stress is a psychological process during which the individual considers his/ her physical and psychological welfare as being threatened. since idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (itp) is one of the chronic diseases being able to affect patients' pe...

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...

introduction: idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is one of the most common causes of thrombocy-topenia with varius clinical courses and different responses to its treatment modalities. therefore, we decided to evaluate the clinical course of this disease in our patients. methods: in this case series study, from march 1998 to march 2004, we evaluated 121 patients. as a first line of treatment, ...

Hematologic abnormali"es are generally present among systemic lupus erythematosus pa"ents. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura can be the first manifesta"on of SLE, followed by other symptoms and signs of disease appearing several years later. Although bleeding due to immune thrombocytopenic purpura is usually mild and occurs in mucocutaneous surfaces, but it may be severe and represent in u...

primary immune thrombocytopenia is an acquired bleeding disorder with no clinically apparent cause of thrombocytopenia. clinical indicators of itp include easy bruising of the skin, prolonged bleeding on injury, mucocutaneous lesions such as petechiae and ecchymosis, epistaxis, gastrointestinal bleeding, hematuria and bleeding from the gums. it is important for a dentist to be aware of the clin...

coincidence of autoimmune diseases such as immune thrombocytopenic purpura (itp) with  immunodeficiencies has  been  reported  previously in  patients  who  suffered  from primary antibody deficiency (pad). but there is no original study on immunological profiles of itp patients to find out their probable immune deficiency. in this case-control study, itp patients’ humoral immunity was investig...
