title: [Structural correlations in splenic tissue in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in adults].
abstract: Immunologic activation of the splenic white pulp seemed to be an important feature of the structural changes in the 8 splenectomized patients with ITP. However, destruction of the platelets with CD 16+ monocytes was the most prominent change in the Billroth's cords of the splenic red pulp. Classical NK cells did not play an important role in platelets destruction.
