“…IBDs represent a spectrum of enteropathies, including CD, UC, and IBDU, with a variable level of seriousness and a wide range of associated autoimmune disorders whose cumulative prevalence is 8.2% to 10.5% [ 18 ]. Autoimmune antibody-related hematologic diseases, such as autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune neutropenia, and ITP [ 5 , 6 , 19 , 20 , 21 ], have been occasionally reported in patients with IBD: up to now, fewer than 80 cases of IBD/ITP association of every age have been published, about two-thirds being UC [ 1 , 7 , 8 ]. There is a scarcity of literature about the association between IBD and ITP in childhood and, other than the cohort of 8 patients of Higuchi [ 12 ], to the best of our knowledge, only 15 other IBD/ITP pediatric patients have been published, mostly in single case reports [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 18 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ].…”
