ITP results from unusually low levels of platelets. ITP affects both children and adults. Children often develop idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura after a viral infection and usually recover fully without treatment. In adults, however, the disorder is often chronic. For more information about ITP, visit the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute's website. |
