Several studies have reported remission of immune thrombocytopenic purpura ( ITP) after eradication of a coexistent Helicobacter pylori infection in adults. Data in children are limited. Here we report the results of a prospective study of Helicobacter pylori determination and eradication in children with chronic ITP in the Netherlands.

Key words: immune thrombocytopenic purpura, platelets, Helicobacter pylori.
