[Long-term follow-up of chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in children].
2000
: Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a common acquired bleeding disorder in infancy and childhood. Most children rapidly improve, exhibiting a rise in platelet count to hemostatically normal levels within weeks to several months. Traditionally, chronic ITP is defined as persistence of thrombocytopenia (platelet count 50 x 10(9)/L 150 x 10(9)/L). Finally, the Authors discuss of the natural history and management of this rare disease. Presently there are insufficient trial data to support evidence-based treatment guidelines in childhood chronic ITP and therefore it is reasonable to encourage future multicentre collaboration.
