Notes:
Two boys, aged three and seven years with immune thrombocytopenic purpura continued to show platelet counts below 20, 000/mm3 inspite of treatment with high dose gammaglobulin and steroids. Alpha-2b-in-terferon injections were followed by normalisation of platelet counts in both patients. No side effects were seen. Alpha-interferon may be a safe and effective treatment for childhood-ITP.
