Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura

The American Journal of Medicine, 1983
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura occurs at all ages, in acute and chronic forms. Children mainly have the acute form, which usually follows a recent viral illness, occurs equally in both sexes, and generally resolves within six months. Chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura occurs more often in adults, often has an insidious onset, and shows a ...

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.

Autoimmune Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1990
The classic therapies of ITP are corticosteroids and splenectomy. These therapies will suffice to treat the majority of patients. In any patient with ITP in whom an urgent rise in the platelet count is required, especially children with acute ITP at diagnosis, gammaglobulin in combination with corticosteroids is very effective.

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1986
To the Editor. —There is more evidence that genetic factors predispose to chronic immunologic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) than is summarized by Bogart and Wittels in their article on ITP in two elderly siblings in the December 1985 issue of theArchives.

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.

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 ...

THROMBOTIC THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA

Medical Journal of Australia, 1957
A 40-year-old obese black woman has had weakness and epigastric pain for several weeks and diarrhea and vomiting for four days. She does not appear acutely ill; the physical examination is normal except for abdominal tenderness. Her hematocrit is 25 percent. The platelet count is 10,000 per cubic millimeter.

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 ...

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1982
Though thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is not a common disorder, having an estimated annual incidence of one per million population, it merits attention.1First, it afflicts those in the prime of life between the third and fourth decade. Second, it generally runs a fulminant course with mortality in excess of 8096.
