Autoimmune Markers in Children with Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia

Conclusion: Chronic ITP is known to accompany autoimmune diseases. Autoimmune diseases in patients with ITP may occur at any time in 10 years of diagnosis. Further studies for the detection of subclinical autoimmune conditions should be performed with a profit- loss account. Antibodies may be positive even when there is no clinical findings of the diseases. Further follow-up is needed to understand the clinical significance of autoimmune markers in chronic ITP.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
