INTRODUCTION Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura are two well recognized syndromes that are characterized by low platelet counts. In contrast, essential thrombocythemia is a myeloproliferative disease characterized by abnormally high platelet numbers.The coexistence of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in a single...

background:chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (itp) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by a low platelet count due to reduced production and higher destruction of the platelets. therapy is aimed at increasing the patient’s platelet count to safe levels and includes a wide variety of treatments, which has a large impact on the patient’s quality of life. health related quality of li...
