Overview
History and Symptoms
ITP is usually chronic in adults[1] and the probability of durable remission is 20–40%.[2] Usually, ITP patients suffer from bruising; petechiae, nosebleeds and bleeding gums may occur if the platelet count is below 20,000,[3] compared to a normal range of 150,000–400,000 per mm3.
Evan's syndrome can occur in ~1% of cases and is manifest by an autoimmune (Coombs +)hemolytic anemia with ITP.
Symptoms include:
- Abnormally heavy menstruation
- Bleeding into the skin causes a characteristic skin rash that looks like pinpoint red spots (petechial rash)
- Easy bruising
- Nosebleed or bleeding in the mouth
