To determine the long term effects of pulse high dose dexamethasone and conventional dose prednisolone in treatment of adult patients with ITP.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients will be randomized to one of two study arms:

dexamethasone 40 mg po daily for 4 consecutive days. If the platelet count drops below 30X109/L after response within 6 months, another four-day course of dexamethasone will be given, followed by 15 mg of prednisone daily, with gradual tapering (Arm 1).

Prednisone 1 mg/kg po daily for 4-8 weeks, the drug is then decreased slowly over another few weeks (Arm 2). ;
