PPresentasi Kasus
Idiopathic (Immune)
Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Etiology
Occurs after viral illness and may
follow live viral vaccination
Produces antibody and immune
complexes against viral antigens and
that platelet destruction may result
from binding of these antibodies or
immune complexes to the platelet
surface
Etiology
Occurs after viral infection, use of
certain drugs or as part of an
immune disorder
Plasma transfusion
Offending antibodies attach to
platelets, and as a result, the
antibody- labelled platelets are
removed from the circulation by RE
cells, primarily in the spleen.

Treatment
In most cases ITP is not fatal and can be
treated.
There is a wide variety of treatment
options, but with only partial success due
to the unknown nature of the disease.
The most commonly excepted, and most
successful treatments for ITP involve the
removal of the spleen because it is a site
for autoantibody production.
Treatment
People are also very commonly given
Prednisone which is an artificial steroid
which can enhance platelet production
For emergency case treatment (normally
when platelets get below 20,000) They
will administer IV G or intravenous
gammaglobulin for several days, and they
wait for counts to rebound
