Autoimmune diseases may be related with the development of a secondary autoimmune disorder. We, herein, report a case (31 years old female) of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura responding to antithyroid treatment in a patient with Graves Opthalmopathy (GO). The relation between Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) and Graves Disease (GD) is not well known. In the current case, recovery f...

Intracranial hemorrhage is a rare devastating complication of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), mostly presenting as intraparenchymal or subarachnoid haemorrhage. Isolated chronic subdural haematoma (SDH) is still very rare and the optimal management is unsettled. Spontaneous resolution of chronic SDH in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is possible. We report a case of...

Currently there is no consensus on the treatment of refractory idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) complicating pregnancy. Our patient with chronic ITP complicating pregnancy, who was refractory to steroids, dapsone, and danazol, was treated successfully with intrapartum splenectomy.

Introduction: Homeopathy can be applied to treat various diseases and conditions such as cancer, allergy, mood disorders, headache and pain. This case showed that homeopathic medicine can be a treatment modality for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), an autoimmune-mediated hematologic disorder. Case Presentation: The patient was a 5.5–year-old child wi...

OBJECTIVE To study the maternal and fetal outcome of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) in pregnancy. MATERIAL AND METHOD The medical records of women who were diagnosed to be idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura during and before pregnancy from January 1995 to December 2004 were reviewed. RESULTS There were 33pregnancies from 29 ITP women as four women had two pregnancies each and on...

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) was first identified in 1996, and is typically caused by acute hypertension, renal decompensation, fluid retention, and treatment with immunosuppressants. Predisposing conditions include hypertension, eclampsia, autoimmune disease, leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), and Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic ...

This case report presents a highly unusual finding of ectopic splenic tissue in both the thoracic and abdominal cavities in a patient with recurrent idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).

The measurement of platelet-associated IgG (PAIgG) is a potentially useful diagnostic test for idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP). However, the restricted application of PAIgG measurements to thrombocytopenic populations primarily comprised of ITP patients will artificially enhance its diagnosis specificity. For this reason, we performed a prospective study in which the results of a sens...
