Higher CD56+or CD2+lymphocyte percentage predicts poor steroid response in patients with immune thrombocytopenia

摘要

Introduction: Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is known as an immune-mediated disease and often evolves to chronic type in adult. Corticosteroids only work in around 60% of patients. This study evaluated the roles of subgroup lymphocytes from peripheral blood in ITP adults with different treatment response.
