What Is Purpura?
4. Thrombocytopenic Purpura Causes
There are various potential causes of the condition. As mentioned, it will sometimes be triggered by illnesses in children, including disease like chicken pox. The condition can also be caused by autoimmune conditions, one example of which is idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
Some drugs can also cause reactions to platelets from the immune system, and other medications can also affect the patient’s body’s ability to clot its blood. Blood infections can also cause the condition, and the condition will also sometimes occur after a blood transfusion. Lupus is another potential cause, as it Hep C, HIV, and some other viral infections.
