HLA Antigens in Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Abstract
Forty patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) were examined. Typing for HLA A and B antigens was performed. Frequencies of 24 HLA antigens in this group were compared with those of 13 patients with drug-induced thrombocytopenia and 2 large groups of healthy controls. Differences of statistical significance between these groups were not found. Associations of ITP and particular HLA antigens were not observed. Associations reported by others could not be confirmed.
