H. pylori infection in childhood chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura

Abstract

Several studies have reported remission of immune thrombocytopenic purpura ( ITP) after eradication of a coexistent Helicobacter pylori infection in adults. Data in children are limited. Here we report the results of a prospective study of Helicobacter pylori determination and eradication in children with chronic ITP in the Netherlands.
