Therapy of chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in adults [see
comments]

Chronic ITP is a common hematologic illness. Approximately three fourths of
the patients respond to corticosteroids or splenectomy and need no further
treatment. Patients refractory to these two therapeutic approaches are
relatively resistant to present forms of treatment and are at much greater
risk for morbidity and mortality. Future clinical studies evaluating
therapy in this refractory group would be best performed in a cooperative
group setting in which large numbers of patients could be treated in a
prospective randomized manner.
