Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune condition characterized by immune-mediated platelet destruction combined with impaired platelet production in the bone marrow that results in thrombocytopenia and a bleeding tendency. 1,2 Primary ITP is defined as a platelet (PLT) count <100 × 10 9 /L in the absence of underlying causes, with an estimated incidence of 4.2 per 100 000 person-years 2-4 ; and is the most common cause of thrombocytopenia in children. ITP is mostly a selflimiting process for most of paediatric patients; 5,6 hence, a watch-and-wait policy is generally recommended for incident paediatric cases of ITP. However, it may become chronic in up to 20% of patients. [7][8][9] Paediatric chronic ITP is commonly associated with limited activities and fear of bleeding that can obviously affect the quality of life. 10
