NCIt related terms : Immune thrombocytopenic purpura; Immune Thrombocytopenia;
NCIt definition : Acquired thrombocytopenia of unknown cause, characterized by immune-mediated destruction
of normal platelets. It affects both children and adults. It manifests with petechiae,
purpura, and overt bleeding. Based upon the duration of the disease, it is classified
as newly diagnosed (from diagnosis until 3 months), persistent (3-12 months), and
chronic (lasting for more than 12 months).;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A condition in which platelets (blood cells that cause blood clots to form)
are destroyed by the immune system. The low platelet count causes easy bruising and
bleeding, which may be seen as purple areas in the skin, mucous membranes, and outer
linings of organs.; NICHD: Disorder characterized by abnormally low level of circulating platelets, usually
with normal hemoglobin/red blood cell and white blood cell levels, and thought to
be secondary to autoimmune destruction.;
