Some of this information is out of date. "Chronic ITP affects women two to three times more often than men." While this may be true in child-bearing years, ITP effects men and women equally as they age.
"Chronic ITP lasts six months or longer" Chronic ITP is defined as ITP that lasts more than 12 months. ITP in teens is more like adult ITP and more apt to be chronic.
