The Levels of T Lymphocyte Subsets in Immune Thrombocytopenia Associated with Anti-GPIIb/IIIa- and/or Anti-GPIb α-Mediated Responses Are Differentially Sensitive to Dexamethasone.

CONCLUSIONS: There was insensitivity to dexamethasone treatment in ITP patients who were anti-GPIbα antibody positive. The detection of T lymphocyte subsets is useful in ITP patients for forecasting the outcome of dexamethasone treatment. There were some relationships between the different antibodies and the levels of T lymphocyte subsets.
