The investigators are undertaking a multicenter, open-labeled, pilot study of 50 ITP patients in pregnancy from Peking University People's Hospital and other well-known hospitals in China. ITP patients in pregnancy who failed to respond to prednisone, IVIG and developed refractoriness to platelet transfusion will be given dexamethasone intravenously at a dose of 40mg every day for four days. Platelet count, bleeding and other symptoms will be evaluated before and after treatment. Adverse events will be recorded throughout the study.
The project was undertaking by Peking University People's Hospital and other well-known hospitals in China. Aims at evaluating efficacy and safety of dexamethasone in management of ITP in pregnancy.
