Prognostic relevance of large-platelet counts in patients with immune thrombocytopenic purpura.

Abstract
In this preliminary study, the value of different platelet parameters, measured by the ADVIA120 Analyzer, in predicting the immediate response to intravenous immunoglobulin or intravenous anti-RhoD was assessed in 31 patients with immune thrombocytopenic purpura. The number of large platelets pre-treatment was the only independent predictor of the 24 hour-platelet increase.
