Q

ITP - Cause? wokrup?

Tx algorithm in children vs adults?

A

Anti-G2b3a ab - Post viral. TEST HEP C HIV

Children - Tx only if bleeding (even if plt are 10k. Bruising is fine ) -> steroids IVIG

Adults - Tx if bleeding or if plt less than 30k

TX FOR BOTH - STEROIDS IVIG. NEVER give plt transfusion
