Chronic IIP is a rare disease in childhood with significant management problems for the paediatrician. Several therapeutic modalities are available but most of them are not very applicable to us either due to financial constraints or to risks involved. We have shown that high dose pulsed dexamethasone therapy is effective in the treatment of chronic ITP in children but the numbers involved in our study are too small to draw any firm conclusions.
