Materials and methods: A case control study done in pediatric ward Rasul Hospital, Tehran, Iran (2009-2010). 51 chronic ITP cases and 25 controls were assessed. H. pylori IgG & IgA ELISA (LDN -Germany) assesses in all cases and controls. All cases undergoing Bone Marrow Aspiration. H. pylori -PCR evaluated (QIAquickP® QIAGEN; Germany). P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: cases were between 1- 20 years (mean 13.3.5 ± 7.6 y). Platelet count varied between 5000-1330000 (mean 63621 ± 37369.9) Positive H. pylori- IgA observed in 70% (36/51) of cases and 4%.. Read More»
