241.0. "Immunological problem" by HPSRAD::LINDSEY () Fri Aug 10 1990 10:13

    
    Has anyone had any experience with ITP? (immuno - something -
    something...mumble). My nephew who just turned 4 was diagnosed
    with it.  From what I gather its a disorder where the persons own
    antibodies attack their own platelets.  I guess its "common" in
    2-6 year olds and most times it occurs only once or twice and then
    never returns, but a small percentage can be chronic.
    
    Anyone out there have any first hand information and/or experience
    and can fill us in?
