Entry term(s) enfermedad de Werlhof
púrpura trombocitopénica autoinmune
Scope note: Trombocitopenia que se produce en ausencia de exposición tóxica o de una enfermedad asociada a disminución de las plaquetas. En su aparición intervienen mecanismos inmunes, en la mayoría de los casos los anticuerpos frente a IgG se unen a las plaquetas y más tarde son destruidos por los macrófagos. La enfermedad puede ser aguda (niños) y crónica (adultos).

Scope note: Thrombocytopenia occurring in the absence of toxic exposure or a disease associated with decreased platelets. It is mediated by immune mechanisms, in most cases IMMUNOGLOBULIN G autoantibodies which attach to platelets and subsequently undergo destruction by macrophages. The disease is seen in acute (affecting children) and chronic (adult) forms.
