This eight-page booklet contains questions frequently asked by parents whose
children are newly diagnosed with ITP. It addresses platelets, what they do and
why they are important, diagnosis, most commonly used treatments, side
effects, and the impact of ITP on the family.
We would like to thank Baxter Healthcare Corporation for their assistance in printing this booklet.
There is no charge for the booklets.
