SIMAO, Teresa São; SALGADO, Miguel; COSTA, Emília  and  BARBOT, José. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura: a diagnosis is not always clear.... Nascer e Crescer [online]. 2012, vol.21, n.1, pp.61-62. ISSN 0872-0754.

The immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a controversial disease. The generality of the literature argues that a historical objective clinical examination and a blood count with careful observation of the peripheral blood smear is sufficient for diagnosis. Some cases contradict this belief.

Keywords : Immune thrombocytopenic purpura; varicella; cytopenia.
