AB Autoimmune  disease  resulting  in  destruction  of  platelets  and  presenting  as  bleeding  disorders.  Idiopathic  thrombocytopenic  purpura  (ITP)  commonly  occurs  in  young  females  of  reproductive  age  group.  The  major  complication  of  ITP  is  peripartum  hemorrhage.  Neonatal  thrombocytopenia  or  hemorrhage  is  uncommon.  Two  distinct  clinical  syndromes  manifest  as  an  acute  condition  in  children  and  a  chronic  condition  in  adults,  particularly  women.  The  acute  form  often  follows  an  infection  and  has  a  spontaneous  resolution  within  2  months.  Chronic  immune  thrombocytopenia  persists  longer  than  6  months  with  a  specific  cause  being  unknown.
