Abstract
Summary. Danazol has recently been reported to be an effective mode of treatment for patients with refractory immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Following a 3 month trial of danazol, only one of 10 patients experienced a sustained increase in platelet counts and two other patients had a transient improvement. While the drug was well tolerated, it does not appear to be particularly helpful in the management of these patients.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
