Abstract
The treatment of childhood ITP with IVIG has been widely used in acute or in previously treatment-dependent, chronic forms of the disease. We discuss propositions of a prospective multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy of IVIG to prevent the development of chronic ITP in childhood. The problems of such a study, i.e. evaluation criteria, number (about 10% of patients with acute ITP will develop the chronic form) and related topics are discussed.Entities:
