However, the best initial therapeutic approach is still a matter of debate. Prior studies have shown that high-dose dexamethasone (HD-DXM) produces a high sustained efficacy not achieved by conventional prednisone therapy. However, the definition of response widely differs between individual reports, and this heterogeneity makes comparison of the efficacy difficult. The aim of our study was to compare the therapeutic outcomes of a conventional dose of prednisone with HD-DXM for adult ITP patients as initial therapy. Thirty patients treated with prednisone and 22 patients treated HD-DXM were retrospectively analyzed. No significant differences between the HD-DXM and prednisone groups were observed for the rates of complete response (68% vs. 70%) and response (18% vs. 17%). However, 1 year probability of sustained response was significantly greater in the HD-DXM group than in the prednisone group (78% vs. 38%;P = 0.008). No adverse events necessitating discontinuation of treatment were observed in either group. Our retrospective analysis showed that initial treatment with HD-DXM produced longer response duration compared to a conventional dose of prednisone. Randomized clinical trials are warranted to establish the optimal initial steroid therapy for adult ITP.展开更多

Secondary ITP can be a manifestation of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and represent a lymphoproliferative disorder. A boy with chronic graft-versus-host disease after cord blood stem cell transplantation who had severe refractory immune-mediated thrombocytopenia received infusion of rituximab weekly, 375 mg/m2, for 4 weeks. Platelets count of the patient was recovered, and rituximab was well tolerated with no severe toxicity observed during treatment.展开更多

The ITP immediately followed using, for four weeks, a combination of medications that included rifampicin. The platelets count continued to be low thereafter. During the year following her diagnosis with ITP, she reported gradual improvement in her joints symptoms, which continued during her pregnancy in 2011. Following puerperium, her chronic ITP resolved completely;however, her joint disease flared up few months later. To our knowledge, there are no reported cases of chronic ITP, which were drug induced at first in a patient of RA except with gold therapy. Similarly, there are no reports on cases that recovered from chronic ITP after delivery. Finally, this case highlights the impact different coexisting autoimmune diseases may have on each other regarding course and prognosis.展开更多
