Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is a condition, whereby a person gets bruising easily. A person gets bleeding easily as well. This condition develops if a person has low levels of platelets in the blood. Platelets are responsible for clotting the blood, which is vital for stopping bleeding and also for healing bruises quickly.
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura can develop both in children and adults. Interestingly, that it is much easier for children to recover from this condition completely, while for adults this condition can become long-term. Also, children usually recover without treatment. In children, the main cause of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is viral infection which affected the blood clotting process, namely levels of platelets in the blood. In adults, there can be mild and severe cases of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. In mild cases a person may not even notice that they have low levels of platelets. In severe cases, there is a risk of developing internal hemorrhage as a result of internal bleeding, that`s why it is essential to undergo treatment to avoid risks.
In children infections that most commonly trigger development of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura are flu and mumps. In adults idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura manifests itself as an autoimmune condition, when immune system starts to fight against itself. This condition is more common in women.
