Group A
Newly diagnosed patients (age more than or equal to 13years) of ITP (diagnosed within 1 month of enrolment for present study)
Group B
Patients (age more than or equal to 13 years) already diagnosed to be having ITP (diagnosed for >1 month before enrollment to present study) and with platelet count between 20000-50000/µl on stable/decreasing dose of steroids/immunosuppressants/immunomodulators.
Group A and Group B
(i) Cases of Evanâ??s syndrome
(ii) Cases of SLE, HCV infection (secondary
ITP cases)
(iii) Those patients who have already received replacement doses of vitamin D before enrolment
into the study
(iv) Patients who are having already diagnosed
malabsorption syndrome, chronic kidney
disease.
(v) Patients who are on antiepileptics before
enrolling into the study.
In addition to these those patients having mucosal bleeds and severe cutaneous bleeds(Extensive ecchymoses) will be excluded in group B
