General Disclaimer

The information on this website including linked resources should not be taken as medical advice, which can only be given to you by your personal health care professional. Specific treatment plans for any patient with ITP should be arranged after consultation with a physician experienced in this disorder for any given age group.

By its nature, the web has two kinds of bias in medical issues.

First, the web tends to have a bias of reports toward more severe cases because mild cases are under-represented: satisfied families whose child had a mild bout of self-limited illness are unlikely to post their stories on the internet.

Second, the web is more likely to have highly opinionated sources rather than balanced opinions. We hope that our site and the other sites listed here try to avoid these common problems.
