Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 2007Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoantibody-mediated thrombocytopenic disorder in which accelerated destruction of platelets occurs; platelet production may also be impaired by these antibodies. ITP is characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding. Rarely, more severe hemorrhages, such as intracranial hemorrhage, may occur. Traditional therapies,

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Postgraduate Medicine, 1962The 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.

Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
JCR: Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, 1997Thrombocytopenia is seen commonly in patients with rheumatic disorders. In general, thrombocytopenia is due to one of three mechanisms: reduced production, sequestration, or increased platelet destruction. In outpatients, the most common cause of thrombocytopenia is immune thrombocytopenia. Immune thrombocytopenia encompasses a broad group of disorders

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
Disease-a-Month, 2014Moschowitz first described thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) in 1925 in a 16-yearold female who presented with fever, petechiae, and a microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. Autopsy examination at the time revealed hyaline thrombi in the vascular beds of many organs. By 1947, several more cases were described and Singer suggested the term TTP.

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
Blood Coagulation & Fibrinolysis, 1992Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is an uncommon disorder, but it continues to be of considerable interest. The disease mechanisms are unclear and the aetiology is unknown. Perhaps most enigmatic of all, the mode of action of plasma therapy, which successfully induces remission in about two-thirds of cases, is wholly inexplicable. There are currently
