Immune thrombocytopaenia (ITP) is classified among autoimmune disease. Recently, new recommendations regarding standardization of terminology, diagnostic investigations and treatment modalities have been issued. Detailed history, physical assessment and manual blood count are the main pillars of ITP diagnosis. To exclude secondary immune thrombocytopaenia, the diagnostics should, in selected groups of patients, include serologic determination of infections or of autoimmune or lymphoproliferative diseases.

Keywords: immune thrombocytopaenia; classification of diseases; diagnosis; differential diagnosis; secondary thrombocytopaenia
