Abstract
Children treated with corticosteroids for acute ITP are 26% less likely to have a platelet count >20,000/mm3 after 48 hours of therapy, when compared with children treated with IVIG. Given the importance of low platelets in the pathogenesis of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), this difference may hold important clinical implications.
