Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disease that destroys platelets. The incidence rate is generally 2 to 6 cases per 100,000 children under 15, which amounts to 300 to 900 new cases per year in France. Persistent forms (lasting 3 to 12 months) and chronic forms (lasting over 12 months) also entail an unforeseeable risk of hemorrhage.
