Abstract
Chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) develops in approximately 20% of children with acute ITP. Treatment requires differentiating the truly idiopathic state from thrombocytopenias associated with other disorders. Treatment is recommended in cases where platelet counts drop below 20×109/L. Therapeutic options include corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin TG(IVIg), and anti-D, as well as splenectomy. The benefits and disadvantages of each modality are reviewed, as well as the management of postsplenectomy failures.
