Overview
Immunologic activation of the splenic white pulp seemed to be an important feature of thestructural changes in the 8 splenectomized patients with ITP. However, destruction of the plate-lets with CD 16+ monocytes was the most prominent change in the Billroth’s cords of the splenicred pulp. Classical NK cells did not play an important role in platelets destruction.
Key words:
idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura - splenic pulp - monocytes
