Back to our patient…
 CBC 9.9>12.6/37.1<5, Smear: no schistocytes, +megakaryocytes
 Type and Screen O+, Antibody negative, Coombs negative
 ANA: pending
 Autoplatelet antibody: pending
 PT 12.6 PTT 27.5 INR 1.0
 BMP normal
 LDH normal
 U/A 5-10 RBC, no WBC, no casts, no bacteria
 CRP <3
Immune Thrombocytopenic
Purpura
 Isolated thrombocytopenia
 Immune mediated destruction of normal
platelets
Epidemiology
 ½ of cases occur in pediatric patients
 2-10 year olds, peak 2-5 year olds
 Most common cause of isolated thrombocytopenia in otherwise
well children
 60% of cases occur within 1 month of an infection
 Seen following MMR vaccine
Clinical manifestations
 Cutaneous bleeding
 Mucosal bleeding
 Absence of other symptoms
Guidelines
Diagnosis
 History, physical, CBC, smear
 Consider bone marrow biopsy if:
 Fever
 Bone/joint pain
 +family history
 HIV risk factors
 Skeletal or soft tissue morphologic abnormalities
 non-petechial rash
 Lymphadenopathy
 Abnormal Hgb, WBC, white cell morphology
To Treat or Not to Treat
 Children with no or mild bleeding (skin manifestations only) be
managed with observation* alone regardless of platelet count
 Essential components: anticipatory guidance, follow-up, reliable
parents
 All patients: restrict activity (no contact sports), avoid
medications with antiplatelet or anticoagulant activity
*can be done as an outpatient
Treat…
 Any child with significant bleeding (mucosal
bleeding) regardless of platelet count
 Children with platelet count < 10K and
cutaneous bleeding
 Choices:
 IVIG
 Anti-D immunoglobulin
 Steroids
IVIG
 IVIG can be used if a more rapid increase in the platelet count
is desired
 Meta-analysis comparing IVIG to steroids
 Primary outcome: platelets > 25K
 Steroids 26% less likely to achieve outcome
IVIG
 Prevention of
reticuloendothelial
uptake of
autoantibody-coated
platelets
IVIG
 Interaction of the
autoantibodies with
anti-idiotype
antibodies in the
IVIG
Giving IVIG
 Single dose, 0.8-1 g/kg
 Side effects
 Fever
 Nausea, vomiting
 Headache
 Aseptic meningitis
 Anaphylaxis
 Renal failure
 Live vaccines must wait
Rhogam
 Hgb >10, Rho(D) positive
 Side effects: fever, chills, hemolytic anemia
Steroids
 Reduce antibody production
 Reduce reticuloendothelial system phagocytosis
of antibody-coated platelets
 Improve vascular integrity
 Improve platelet production
Prognosis
 20% go on to have chronic ITP (> 6-12 months)
 Intracranial hemorrhage is rare – incidence of 0.1-0.5%
Compare
5 yo M with ALL s/p
chemotherapy
with a platelet
count of 5K
5 yo M with ITP with a
platelet count of 5K
PREP 2007
In examining a 4-year-old girl who is new to your practice, you
discover that she has rudimentary thumbs and is well below the 5th
percentile for both weight and height. You also observe irregular
hyperpigmentation on the trunk and anogenital areas.
Of the following, the MOST likely hematologic disorder associated
with these findings is:
 A. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
 B. Bloom syndrome
 C. Diamond-Blackfan anemia
 D. Fanconi anemia
 E. Thrombocytopenia and absent radii (TAR) syndrome
PREP 2005
An otherwise well 4-year-old boy is brought to your office because his mother
has noticed bruising over the past 2 weeks. On physical examination he
appears well and has no hepatosplenomegaly or adenopathy. There are
scattered petechiae on the right upper arm, resolving bruises on the legs, and
no evidence of new bruises. A complete blood count shows a platelet count
of 50 x 103/mcL. The white blood cell and differential counts, hemoglobin,
and hematocrit are normal
Of the following, the BEST next step in the management of this patient is to
recommend:
 A. administration of intravenous immunoglobulin therapy
 B. administration of oral corticosteroid therapy
 C. avoidance of sulfonamides
 D. hospitalization for observation
 E. performance of a bone marrow examination
Goals and Objectives
 Review the differential diagnosis for thrombocytopenia and
syndromes associated with thrombocytopenia
 Review the pathophysiology of ITP
 Review the current approach to diagnosis and management of
ITP
