Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), haematologic disease affecting the only blood platelets, is an acquired disease. It appears as cutaneous and mucosal bleedings preceded by a feverish syndrome. Cerebral haemorrhage is possible but very rare. If the disease occurs frequently in Europe and in the United States of America, there is a lack of data in Africa and in Madagascar. In order to fill this gap, the authors carried out retrospective and prospective studies in two paediatric units of Antananarivo for 32 months. They reported 4 cases of PTI of which clinical signs were moderate. As therapy, corticosteroids were used and were efficiency. It is desirable to settle a program allowing to survey sick children.
特发性血小板减少性紫癜（ITP）是一种影响血液中血小板的血液系统疾病，属于后天性疾病。其症状表现为在发热综合征之后出现皮肤和黏膜出血。脑出血虽有可能发生，但极为罕见。该疾病在欧洲和美国较为常见，然而在非洲和马达加斯加却缺乏相关数据。为填补这一空白，作者在塔那那利佛的两个儿科病房进行了为期32个月的回顾性和前瞻性研究。他们报告了4例临床症状为中度的ITP病例。作为治疗手段，使用了皮质类固醇且效果良好。制定一个能够对患病儿童进行监测的项目是很有必要的。
