  • Title: Immune thrombocytopenias.
    Author: Aster RH.
    Journal: Hosp Pract (Off Ed); 1983 Nov; 18(11):187-90, 194-5, 198-9 passim. PubMed ID: 6414933.
    Abstract:
    The common denominator of this group of disorders is bleeding due to antibody-mediated platelet destruction. The variations in clinical manifestation--ranging from mild to fatal--reflect the diverse origins of the troublesome antibodies: transplacental, exogenous, and autogenous. Treatment--if necessary--may involve steroids, exchange transfusion, apheresis, or splenectomy.
