Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) [PDF]

Acta Haematologica, 1980
Sir.—I read with interest the article by Movassaghi et al entitled "Antiplatelet Antibodies in Childhood Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura" (Journal133:257-259, 1979). However, I cannot agree with their conclusion that platelet antibody usually disappears with recovery from thrombocytopenia in childhood ITP. We have already shown in three chronic and

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura

Japanese Journal of Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2008
Point（1）診断は血小板減少をきたす他の疾患の除外を基本とする．（2）血小板数と出血症状の程度，背景因子やライフスタイルに基づいて治療適応を決める．（3）治療はまずステロイド療法,次いで摘脾を行う．（4）ITPと診断されればまずH. pyloriを検索し，陽性であれば除菌療法を優先する．

Multiple domains of ADAMTS13 are targeted by autoantibodies against ADAMTS13 in patients with acquired idiopathic thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

Haematologica, 2010
Background Type G immunoglobulins against ADAMTS13 are the primary cause of acquired (idiopathic) thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. However, the domains of ADAMTS13 which the type G anti-ADAMT13 immunoglobulins target have not been investigated in a ...

Epidemiology and Genetics of Rheumatic Diseases Suggest a Constant Rate of DNA Damage as Underlying Cause

Immunology, EarlyView.
A constant rate of DNA damage that is not perfectly repaired will cause a constant rate of DNA mutations. The chance of mutation will increase if DNA is prone to damage, such as occurs in somatic hypermutation (SHM) hotspots and GC‐rich DNA. Thus, if one mutation‐prone DNA site drives disease, the age of onset of disease and degree of penetrance should
