... Immune-mediated thrombocytopenia is common. One of the most frequently seen types is idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) (see Case 1 on page 114). In addition, antibodies to platelet surface antigens triggered by a blood transfusion can develop—primarily in multiparous women; this phenomenon i ...
