THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA IN PREGNANCY

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1951
In 1948 Barnes and Doan 1 found only six authenticated cases in the literature of thrombocytopenic purpura complicating pregnancy in which splenectomy was done; to this series they added two cases of their own. In the literature there is still uncertainty regarding the influence of pregnancy on the indications for splenectomy, and our purpose in ...

THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA IN PREGNANCY

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1955
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is a rare disease. The concomitant occurrence of this entity with pregnancy is an unusual finding and furthermore carries a high mortality. Yet such cases are truly worth extensive study and indeed have led to a significant clarification of the pathogenesis of thrombocytopenic purpura.

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2008
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is the commonest cause of sudden onset thrombocytopenia in a healthy child. The condition is frequently preceded by a viral infection. The hematological parameters are essentially normal except a low platelet count. Bone marrow examination is not routinely indicated except in specific situations.

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Annual Review of Medicine, 1988
Platelet thrombus formation in small vessels is triggered by certain stimuli, including vascular injury, primary platelet agglutination, or both. The formation and dissolution of platelet thrombi is modulated by proteolysis, plasma factors, PGI2 synthesis and stability, and immune mechanisms.

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 1995
Recent studies indicate that CRTTP patients have excessive shear stress-induced platelet aggregation that is associated with the presence of ULvWF multimers in their plasma and increased vWF-binding to their platelets by flow cytometry. In these CRTTP patients, relapses, excessive shear-aggregation and the presence in their plasma of ULvWF forms are ...

Recurrent Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Pediatrics, 1997
To the Editor. In the May 1996 issue of Pediatrics, Dr. Vlacha and collaborators presented a case of recurrent thrombocytopenic purpura after measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination. The possibility that MMR vaccine may exacerbate chronic or recurrent thrombocytopenia was also raised in their discussion.

The Thrombocytopenic Purpuras

Drugs, 1996
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), are distinct entities. ITP is a relatively common autoimmune disorder typically manifesting with isolated thrombocytopenia. The acute form, more common in children, is a self-limiting, often post-viral disease.

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 ...
