Chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is a syndrome characterized by bleeding due to a reduced number of platelets and normal or increased numbers of marrow megakaryocytes. The thrombocytopenia in this disorder is due to IgG antibodies that are directed against platelet antigens. The presence of these antibodies eventually results in platelet destruction by the reticuloendothelial system.1,2McKenna and Pisciotta3and McMillan and co-workers4have provided evidence that these antibodies also react with marrow megakaryocytes. The effect of these antibodies on in vivo thrombopoiesis, however, is unknown. Harker5and Branehög et al.6have found that platelet turnover is increased in idiopathic thrombocytopenic . . .
