Dr. William Aird on Diagnosing ITP: Key Clinical Clues

 Dr. William Aird, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, has posted on X:

“DIAGNOSING ITP

It’s a diagnosis of exclusion, typically with:

  • Isolated thrombocytopenia (PLT < 100k)
  • No splenomegaly
  • No evidence of other causes (e.g., meds, infections)

Think ITP when the platelets are low, but everything else looks… normal.”
