Experience of Helicobacter pylori Eradication Treatment in Two Patients with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic p니rpura (ITP) is characterized by a low platelet count, which is the result of both increased platelet destruction and insufficient platelet production. Recently, an association between ITP and H. pylori has been described and H. pylori eradication therapy has been shown to be effective in some studies. We report the experience of H. pylori eradication in two patients with ITP. Eradication therapy for H. py/ᄋ厂/-positive patients with ITP was effective and a favorable effect was maintained.
