8. Diagnostico
• Platelet count <100,000/microL (often <20,000/microL).
• Otherwise normal complete blood count (CBC) with differential white count, and
reticulocyte count
• No abnormalities on the peripheral blood smear after review by an experienced
practitioner. In particular, there should be no evidence of hemolysis or of blast cells
• No clinically apparent associated conditions that may cause
thrombocytopenia, after a thorough history and physical examination.
Findings that suggest a diagnosis other than ITP include enlargement
of lymph nodes, liver, or spleen; systemic symptoms
12. Indicaciones tto farmacológico
●NO pharmacologic intervention ("watchful waiting") for
most children with no bleeding or mild bleeding (defined as
skin manifestations only, such as bruising and petechiae),
regardless of platelet count.
●Pharmacologic intervention for any child with severe or
life-threatening bleeding (eg, severe or prolonged
epistaxis, gastrointestinal bleeding, or intracranial
hemorrhage [ICH]); this occurs in about 3 percent of
children with ITP. These patients also should be admitted to
the hospital for treatment and monitoring. Patients with
head trauma or suspected ICH also should be urgently
evaluated with computerized tomography (CT) of the head
