Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a rare hematologic disorder characterized by low platelet counts due to an immune-mediated destruction of platelets. While corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) are the mainstays of treatment, a subset of patients may remain refractory to these therapies. Here, we present a case of a 6-year-old girl diagnosed with refractory ITP, who failed to respond to standard therapies but showed a remarkable clinical improvement with avatrombopag, a thrombopoietin receptor agonist.
免疫性血小板减少症(ITP)是一种罕见的血液系统疾病,其特征是由于免疫介导的血小板破坏导致血小板计数降低。虽然皮质类固醇、静脉注射免疫球蛋白(IVIG)是主要的治疗方法,但一部分患者可能对这些治疗仍无反应。在此,我们报告一例6岁女童诊断为难治性ITP的病例,她对标准治疗无反应,但使用血小板生成素受体激动剂阿伐曲泊帕后临床症状有显著改善。
