Scope note

  • Thrombocytopenia occurring in the absence of toxic exposure or a disease associated with decreased platelets. It is mediated by immune mechanisms, in most cases IMMUNOGLOBULIN G autoantibodies which attach to platelets and subsequently undergo destruction by macrophages. The disease is seen in acute (affecting children) and chronic (adult) forms.

History note

  • 1992; for WERLHOF'S DISEASE use PURPURA, THROMBOCYTOPENIC 1975-1991
