Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Postgraduate Medicine, 1962
The acute form of ITP may be drug-induced or may follow infection or exposure to chemicals. The chronic form represents a self-perpetuating immunologic (auto-immune) disorder, at times associated with chronic lymphatic leukemia and other disorders. In some cases, it may be a prodrome of systemic lupus, to which it seems to be closely related.

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

New England Journal of Medicine, 1966
A CHANGE in the concepts regarding idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura has occurred during the past fifteen years mainly because of the recognition of three important facts: The thrombocytopenia is the result of increased platelet destruction. The old hypothesis, originally postulated by Frank,1 , 2 of a toxic depression of megakaryocytes and their ...

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in children

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1975
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in children 10 years of age or younger was observed to have a more favorable prognosis than in older children. Corticosteroid therapy in children judged to be at increased risk of serious hemorrhage resulted in a significantly greater number of patients with an early increase in platelets than was noted in a control ...

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 1980
The finding of thrombocytopenia with normal or increased megakaryocytes on bone marrow aspirate supports the diagnosis of ITP. It is essential, however, that every effort be made to exclude other causes of the consumption of platelets. Most cases of chronic ITP are immune in origin; consequently, steroid therapy is the initial treatment of choice ...

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in a cat

Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association, 1999
An 11-year-old, castrated, male domestic shorthair cat was presented for hematuria and pollakiuria. The cat had a marked thrombocytopenia, and a bone-marrow core biopsy demonstrated megakaryocytic hyperplasia with many megakaryocyte-associated neutrophils (i.e., emperipolesis). On peripheral blood, collected at initial presentation, what appeared to be

An idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura with polyneuropathy

Immunologic Research, 2016
Concurrent association of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and peripheral neuropathy is a rare condition. There are only few case reports published concerning peripheral neuropathy with ITP. One of the etiopathogenetic mechanisms proposed is intraneural hemorrhage, but the pathogenesis is not fully understood.

Blood, 2004
Splenectomy has been a standard treatment for adult patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) for more than 50 years. However, the durability of responses, the ability to predict who will respond, and the frequency of surgical complications
