ITP :

ITP will be called as idiopathic thrombocytic purpura. It can be described as an autoimmune disorder that causes the destruction of the body's own blood platelets, which are attacked by the body's own immune system. ITP will result in a lowering of blood platelet count and thus causes a high risk of bleeding and the formation of bruises easily. The symptoms which will be observed in ITP will be red colored spots over the skin, which are pinpoint-sized, gum bleeding, formation of bruises, nose bleeding, bruising of the skin, fatigue, blood in the stools and urine. The treatment advised for ITP includes steroid medications, watchful observation of the child, and intravenous (IV) immunoglobulin. The diagnostic tests that are performed for the diagnosis of ITP will be blood tests to detect the complete blood count (CBC), which shows a low platelet count in the blood. ITP will subside within 6 months in children. When the ITP is detected in a child, parents need to take care of the child and should monitor their activities as it can cause bleeding and bruising more easily.
