An autoimmune disorder in which the number of circulating platelets is reduced due to their antibody-mediated destruction. ITP is a diagnosis of exclusion and is heterogeneous in origin.
Features include: Abnormal bleeding tendency (abnormal bleeding), Platelet antibody positive, and Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia).
