Primary immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an acquired immune-mediated disorder characterized by transient or persistent decreased platelet count (< 100× 109/L) that affects children and adults in the absence of other underlying causes. 1, 2 The low platelet count results from platelet destruction by antiplatelet autoantibodies associated to causes such as insufficient platelet production, which is also related to these autoantibodies, and T cell immune dysregulation (Figure 1). 2The presence of the autoantibodies may be demonstrated in the serum of approximately 70% of ITP patients, usually directed against platelet surface glycoproteins (Gp), such as Gp IIb-IIIa, Gp Ib-IX and Gp Ia-IIa. 2, 3 ITP has an estimated incidence of 5.8 cases in 100,000 young individuals with similar distribution between genders, and 1.6 cases in 100,000 middle aged individuals with higher rates among women (1.9 females: 1 male). This condition may be classified according to duration as newly diagnosed (less than 3 months), persistent (3–12 months) and chronic (more than 12 months). 1, 2 T he clinical features are usually different in children and adults. In childhood, ITP usually has an abrupt onset, often starting 1–2 weeks after a viral infection or up to six weeks after vaccinations (generally the measles, mumps and rubella–MMR vaccination) with recovery being spontaneous in around 70–80% of the cases within a few weeks regardless of therapy. In adults, the disease has an insidious onset, with no
