Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in two children with Graves disease
C. Chintu and P. McClure
Chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and hyperthyroidism
coexisted in two children. In one, hyperthyroidism developed nine years
after the onset of purpura. In the other, the two diseases appeared
concomitantly. It is important to distinguish the thrombocytopenia due to
ITP from that due to antithyroid drugs.
