Treatment options for ITP include WinRho,IV immune gamma globulin (IVIG),platelet transfusion in case of a life-threatening condition,and steroids.Whole blood is not transfused.If the child experiences a severe hemolytic anemia secondary to the WinRho,packed red blood cells might be considered,but usually this is a rapidly improving condition.
