Fatigue as marker of thrombocytopenia in childhood idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. 2010

Julie Blatt, and Brent Weston, and Stuart Gold

Patients with ITP are said to be normal apart from bleeding. Review of clinic notes for 27 children seen January-October, 2008 showed that 6 (22%) had a history of fatigue which resolved with improvement of platelet counts. While preliminary, our experience suggests that fatigue can be striking in children with ITP.
