Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Thrombocytopenia refers to a reduction in platelet count to (\<150 × 109/L). Immune thrombocytopenic purpura is an acquired autoimmune disorder defined by isolated thrombocytopenia and the exclusion of other causes of thrombocytopenia

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Helicobacter pylori was recently demonstrated as an etiological factor in immune thrombocytopenic purpura in some prospective studies, with reports of platelet numbers increasing in these patients after Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment.However, other studies have shown a negative result after eradication treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura, leading to controversy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Helicobacter pylori negative patients

chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura patients who will be diagnosed negative for Helicobacter pylori infection using detection of Helicobacter pylori antigen in stool of these patients.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Helicobacter pylori positive patients with intervention

chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura patients who will be diagnosed positive for Helicobacter pylori infection using detection of Helicobacter pylori antigen in stool of these patients will receive treatment of Helicobacter pylori: Amoxicillin for 14 days, Clarithromycin for 14 days and Proton pump inhibitor for one month).

Helicobacter pylori positive patients without intervention

chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura patients who will be diagnosed positive for Helicobacter pylori infection using detection of Helicobacter pylori antigen in stool of these patients will not receive treatment of Helicobacter pylori during the study,these patient group will receive treatment of Helicobacter pylori after the end of the study
