    Author: Franchini M, Plebani M, Montagnana M, Veneri D, Lippi G.
    Journal: Adv Clin Chem; 2010; 52():131-44. PubMed ID: 21275342.
    Abstract:
    Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a common autoimmune disease mediated by autoantibodies against platelet glycoproteins. This hemorrhagic disorder may be primary or secondary to various illnesses, including lymphoproliferative, autoimmune, or infectious diseases. Among the latter causes, there is increasing laboratory and clinical evidence that documents a pathogenic role of Helicobacter pylori infection in ITP. The aim of this review is to analyze the current knowledge on the pathogenic, diagnostic, clinical, and therapeutic characteristics of H. pylori-associated ITP.
