Abstract

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a bleeding disorder characterized by immune-mediated platelet destruction with resultant thrombocytopenia and mucocutaneous bleeding. Chronic ITP is defined by the persistence of ITP beyond 12 months, with spontaneous recovery occurring in less than 10% of adults. The estimated incidence of ITP is ∼100 cases per 1 million persons per year, with about half of these cases presenting in adults. Patients with chronic ITP often have problematic bleeding that requires ongoing therapy, and hemorrhagic deaths are not uncommon. This chapter will focus on chronic ITP in adults.
