Abstract:

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is the most common bleeding disorde characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia in children. It is mediated by a variety of autoimmune mechanisms. Children with ITP usually have acute onset. A considerable proportion of patients can be traced back to the history of precursor infection or vaccination, which can make them immune intolerant, resulting in the occurrence of ITP. There is strong heterogeneity of ITP in children. At present, more and more children tend to relapse. The first-line treatment is not effective, and the protracted treatment leads to chronic ITP. Clinicians should make corresponding individualized treatment and give reasonable management according to the characteristics of each child to reduce treatment-related complications and improve the quality of life of children.

Key words: immune thrombocytopenia, standardized treatment, child
