Hello and welcome to HCM,
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune condition characterized by low platelets.
The common cause for ITP is viral infection.
ITP has a natural course for few months.
However, some cases can become chronic and can last for more than 6 months.
Treatment of the condition consists of corticosteroids for suppressing the immune response.
Continue the treatment till the platelet count recovers.
Thanks and take care
