Thrombocytopenic purpura are purpura associated with a reduction in circulating blood platelets which can result from a variety of causes,[1] such as kaposi sarcoma.
Types
[edit]By tradition, the term idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is used when the cause is idiopathic, or unknown. However, most cases are now considered to be immune-mediated.[citation needed]
Another form is thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.[citation needed]
Diagnosis
[edit]Diagnosis is done by the help of symptoms and only blood count abnormality is thrombocytopenia.[citation needed]
