Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a type of thrombocytopenic purpura defined as isolated low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) with normal bone marrow and the absence of other causes of thrombocytopenia. It causes a characteristic purpuric rash and an increased tendency to bleed.
Although no one really knows what causes HSP, doctors do know that it occurs when the body's immune system doesn't function as it should. A protein called immunoglobulin A (IgA) is a type of antibody that works to fight infections. In HSP, IgA also gets placed in the blood vessels and causes swelling and bleeding. It is unclear why this immune reaction occurs. It often happens after a bacterial or viral infection of the upper respiratory tract (sinuses, throat, or lungs). It is seen more often in fall, winter, and spring.
