Tree Number(s): C15.378.100.802.687.600; C15.378.140.855.925.750.600; C15.378.243.937.925.750.600; C15.378.463.740; C20.111.759; C20.841.600; C23.550.414.950.687.600; C23.888.885.687.687.600
Unique ID: D016553
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D016553
Scope Note: Thrombocytopenia occurring in the absence of toxic exposure or a disease associated with decreased platelets. It is mediated by immune mechanisms, in most cases IMMUNOGLOBULIN G autoantibodies which attach to platelets and subsequently undergo destruction by macrophages. The disease is seen in acute (affecting children) and chronic (adult) forms.
Entry Term(s): Autoimmune Thrombocytopenia; Autoimmune Thrombocytopenic Purpura; Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura; Immune Thrombocytopenia; Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura; Purpura, Thrombocytopenic, Autoimmune; Thrombocytopenic Purpura, Autoimmune; Werlhof Disease; Werlhof's Disease
