[Etiopathogenetic considerations on so-called moderate thrombopenia in young women].
Twenty cases of moderate thrombocytopenia in young women were examined in an assessment of the nosological status of this form. Parameters enjoying pathogenetic significance were distinguished in some instances: 4 cases displayed dysendocrinopathy, 2 the signs of consumption coagulopathy, 3 an antibody situation attributable to compensated autoimmune thrombocytopenia, and 3 a probable central inhibition of thrombocytopoiesis due to drugs. Since no significant cause could be determined in the remaining 8 cases, it can be said that this syndrome occupies a special place among the forms of chronic thrombocytopenia.
