  • Abstract
    Chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) means at least 6-month duration of ITP[1]. An autoimmune process leads to production of anti platelet membrane anti bodies that destruct the platelets. Although in most cases no significant hemorrhage occurs, but bleeding in brain is possible. Also, thrombocytopenia limits the natural activity of children.
