[ Symptoms of Haptenic Immune Thrombocytopenia
Symptoms of haptenic immune thrombocytopenia develop acutely. Formation of petechiae is spontaneous. Purpura manifests itself as petechial-spotted hemorrhages in the skin and subcutaneous tissue, bleeding from the mucous membranes, and nosebleeds. There may be gastrointestinal and uterine bleeding in girls at puberty. Hemorrhages do not tend to spread and do not create a blood depot under the skin. There are no specific and characteristic changes in the internal organs for this form of thrombocytopenic purpura. The maximum period of disappearance of clinical and hematological manifestations of the disease is 4-6 months, which is associated with the natural catabolism of antiplatelet antibodies. Spontaneous recovery is possible.
