Abstract

A variety of studies were considered necessary to better understand the etiology of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Apoptosis of platelets and megakaryocytes were strong proposals, calling for collaboration. Some groups want to study microparticles and thombin generation in order to understand the variation of the bleeding tendency in patients. Viral antigen cross-reaction with platelet epitopes was another topic that was addressed. Kinetics of cytokines may further contribute to our understanding of the disease.
