Opis

The material of ITP became more and more complex and substantial in recent years. The current edition was updated in a difficult time reflected by the COVID-19 pandemic with many obstacles and adversities. Therefore all authors worked hard on this edition and contributed to the successful completion of this book. It would be a desirable conclusion if this new edition would contribute to optimal ITP patient care and management.
