3
Ø IVIG
Ø Anti-D therapy
Ø Splenectomy
Ø Thrombopoietin receptor agonists
4
´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.
´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
´ 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
´Other treatment:
Ø Antibiotic
Ø Tagamet/Nexium
Ø Tranexamic acid
Ø Analgesics (Perfalgan, Morphine…)
Ø Blood transfusion
24
´Emergency therapy:
Ø Methyl prednisolone: 30mg/kg/d (IV), for 1-3 days,
Ø IVIG 1g/kg/d for 2-3 days, with or without,
Ø Anti-D 75mcg/kg, 1 dose,
Ø Platelet transfusion.
25
ITP
Mild/Moderate Severe
Symptoms bleeding/ICH
´ Management:
Ø Solu-Medrol (start on 08-12-2021), then followed by Prednisolone orally
Ø Ceftazidime
Ø Nexium
Ø Tranexamic acid
Ø Konakion
Ø Panadol
Ø Blood transfusion
28 Case study – 01
´ Management :
