Abstract:
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP) is characterized by platelet destruction which is mediated by auto-antibodies. Recent researches show that helicobacter pylori infection is correlated with part of FTP in adult. Eradication of helicobacter pylori infection has brought dramatically platelet elevation. It was reported that cross reaction played a very important part in the helicobacter related FTP, but the exact mechanism is still unknown, whether the FTP in children needs helicobacter pylori eradication is under debate.
