Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura with normal platelet survival time

G W K Donaldson 1, A C Parker 1, M McArthur 1, J Richmond 1
PMCID: PMC477107  PMID: 5165795

Abstract

Platelet survival has been measured in 16 patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Of this group, three patients had a normal result and surface counting did not show high splenic uptake. The clinical features of these patients are described. These patients have remained well for several years without treatment.
