title: Chronic Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura andHelicobacter pyloriEradication: A case study.
abstract: Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an immune-mediated thrombocytopenia. ITP is the result of accelerated platelet destruction by the reticuloendothelial system, primarily the spleen. The prevalence ofHelicobacter pyloriinfection and the effect of its eradication were monitored in an ITP patient over a period of 12 months. Eradication ofHelicobacter pyloriled to the increased platelet count and provides a new insight for a non-immunosuppressive treatment in selective ITP patients.
