[Emergency treatment of severe bleeding in immune thrombocytopenia]
|
abstract
|
Immune thrombozytopenia (ITP) is a rare acquired
thrombocytopenia occurring in 2 to 4 persons per 100,000 per
year. ITP is defined as a platelet count less than 100 G/l in
patients in whom other causes of thrombocytopenia have been ruled
out. Severe bleeding is rare but may constitute
a life-threatening condition. Therapeutic options include
platelet transfusions, glucocorticoids and intravenous immune
globuline (IVIG). Emergency splenectomy has to be considered in
otherwise untreatable bleeding. We present the case of
a 65-year-old patient with chronic refractory ITP and finally
fatal bleeding.
