What is Immune Thrombocytopenia?

Immune Thrombocytopenia is an autoimmune bleeding disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys platelets, the blood cells responsible for clotting, leading to an abnormally low platelet count. This deficiency increases the risk of easy bruising and bleeding, ranging from minor skin spots to serious internal bleeding in severe cases. The condition can occur in both children, often following a viral infection with spontaneous resolution, and adults, where it tends to follow a more chronic course. Its severity varies widely between individuals.
