´ Managemet ITP of children in ICU:


Ø Counseling/advice
Ø Corticotherapy +++

Ø IVIG
Ø Anti-D therapy
Ø Splenectomy
Ø Thrombopoietin receptor agonists
4

´ ITP : disorder caused by antiplatelet antibodies, leading to


accelarated destruction, and inhibition of the production of platelets.
Ø Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
Ø Immune thrombocytopenic purpura
Ø Auto-immune thrombocytopenic purpura

´ Life time of Platelet : 7-10 days


´ Platelet : 150.10⁹/L - 400.10⁹/L
´ Trombocytopenia < 150.10⁹/L
5

´ Acute ITP: < 3 months from the initial diagnosis.


´ Persistent ITP: 3-12 months from the initial diagnosis.
´ Chronic ITP: > 12 months from the intial diagnosis.

´ Trombocytopenia resolved -/+ treatment < 6 months => 80%


´ Trombocytopenia unresolved -/+ treatment > 12 months => 20%
6

´ Autoantibody directed against the platelet surface develops =>


thrombocytopenia.

´ After binding of the antibody to the platelet surface => circulating


antibody-coated platelets, then recognized by the Fc receptor on
splenic macrophages => ingested, and destroyed.
7
8

´ The most common cause of acute illness of thrombocytopenia in


an otherwise well child.
´ Approximately: 7.2 - 9.5/100 000 childrent between 1-14y of age.
´ 1-4 weeks after exposure to a common viral infection (50-65% of
cases of childhood ITP).
´ Peak age: 2-5 years old..
´ Sex ratio: male:female = 1:1
´ Seasonal variation: more often in late winter and early spring, after
the peak season of viral respiratory illness.
9

´ Primary ITP: Idiopathic: thrombocytopenia + absence of other


causes or disorders associated (80%). +++
´ Secondary ITP: thrombocytopenia + other causes or disorders
associated (20%):
Ø Post infection: HIV, HCV, CMV, EBV, varicella, rubella, mumps, measles, H.
Pylori…
Ø Drugs induced: chemotherapy, ionizing radiation, Chloramphenicol, Estrogen,
sulfonamide, quinidine, quinine, Cabamazepine, Valproic acid, digoxin…
Ø Post transfusion
Ø Lymphoproliferative disorders
Ø Immune dificiency disorder
Ø SLE
Ø Anti phospholipid syndrome
10

´Severity of bleeding in ITP is on the basis of symptoms and


signs, but not platelet count:
Ø No symptoms
Ø Mild symptoms: bruising, purpura, petechiae, minor epistaxis =>
very little interference with daily living.
Ø Moderate: more severe skin and mucosal lesions, some epistaxis,
menorrhagia, gum bleeding => more trouble with daily living.
Ø Severe: bleeding episodes (<3%): => hospitalization in ICU:
§ Menorrhagia, epistaxis, melena => anemia => requiring blood transfusion,
symptoms interfering seriously with the quality of life.
§ Neurological signs => ICH (0.1-0.8% of ITP): is the most serious.
11
12

´3 keys diagnostic criteria:


ØIsolated thrombocytopenia + normal CBC and blood
smear (particularly RBC and WBC morphology).
ØAbsence of hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy,
bone or joint pain and other congenital anomalies.
ØPlatelet response to ITP therapy (Corticosteroids, IVIG,
Anti-D).
13

´Laboratory Findings:
Ø CBC: +++
´Platelet count < 100.10⁹/L
´WBC, RBC and other differential count: normal
´Hb and Ht: maybe low if profuse bleeding <= severe thrombocytopenia
< 20.10⁹/L.

Ø Bone marrow aspiration/biopsy: BMA? Malignancy?...


Ø Coombs test: Evans Sd?, HUS?...
Ø PT, PTT, Fibrinogen, D-Dimer: Coagulopathies? …
Ø BC, CRP: if persistent fever: sepsis?
14

´Radiography finding:
Ø Brain CT-Scan or MRI:
´Neurological signs with or without severe
thrombocytopenia => ICH?
15

´Goals:
ØTo increase platelet count => prevent severe bleeding.
ØTo alleviate fatigue or difficulty with activities of daily
living.
16

´When to treat ITP?

Ø If platelet count > 30.10⁹/L + No sign of bleeding => no medical


treatment, counseling of parents and careful observation
within 6 to 12 months.
Ø If platelet count > 30.10⁹/L + Bleeding, or platelet count <
30.10⁹/L => Medical treatment needed.
17

´ Counseling/advice:
ØAvoid contact sport
ØAvoid IM injection
ØAvoid NSAID
ØAbout 60%-80% of patients recoverd within 6-12 months,
without any treatment.
Ø If the child has bleeding signs => Come to see the doctor.
18

´ Corticotherapy: +++
Ø Action of corticosteroids:
´ Inhibit phagocytosis of antibody coated platelet.
´ Supress activation of T-cells driving the auto immune respone.
´ Inhibit antibody produced by B-lymphocytes.
´ Improve platelet production.
´ Improve capillary resistance => reduce bleeding.
19

´ Corticotherapy: +++
Ø Prednisone:
´Dose: 1-2mg/kg/d (max: 60mg/d), orally for 2-4 weeks, then
tapering every week after platelet response occur.
´The initial response rate is 50%-90%.
´Increasing platelet: after 2-3 weeks.
Ø Methyl prednisolone:
´Dose: 30mg/kg/d (max: 1000mg/kg/d) (IV) for 3 days, then
20mg/kg/d for 3 days, and then tapering every week.
20

´ Corticotherapy: +++
Ø Side effects:
´ Infection
´ Weight gain
´ Gastritis/ulcers
´ Moon facies
´ Fluid retention
´ Hypertension
´ Glucose intolerance => diabetes
´ Osteoporosis/growth failure …
21

´ IVIG:
ØAction: Downregulation of Fc-mediated phagocytosis of
antibody coated platelet.
ØDose: 0.8-1g/kg/d, 1 dose/day, for 1-3 days
ØEffective: 90%-95%
ØIncreasing platelet: after 24h-48h.
ØSide effects: headache, nausea/vomiting, fever,
anaphylaxis, aseptic meningitis (rare) …
22

´ IV Anti-D: for Rhesus (+) patients


ØAction: anti-D bind with RBC => RBC antibody complexe,
bind to macrophage Fc receptor and interferes with
dysfunction.
ØDose: 50-75mcg/kg, single dose.
ØEffective: 80%-90%
ØIncreasing platelet: after 48h-72h.
ØSide effects: fever/chill, headache, nausea/vomiting,
intravascular haemolysis, anaphylaxis (rare) …

Ø Anti-D 75mcg/kg, 1 dose,
Ø Platelet transfusion.
