Abstract
THE syndrome of "idiopathic" or "primary" thrombopenic purpura has been discussed by a number of authors,1 2 3 4 but these studies usually have included all age groups or have used large subdivisions of age ranges. The condition as it is seen in childhood has not been dealt with specifically or in detail for some time. McLean5 in 1932 reported a short follow-up study of 21 cases, and Diamond6 briefly summarized the results of therapy in 28 cases in 1938. Since then, except for studies on congenital purpura,7 no comprehensive publications have appeared on thrombopenic purpura in childhood.This paper reports on 47 . . .Keywords
