Patient's question:
My son was diagnosed with thrombocytopenia purpura half a year ago. The doctor said he shouldn't get vaccinated within half a year. It's been more than half a year now. Can he get vaccinated? Can it recur? Can other abnormalities occur?Doctor's answer:
It is best not to get vaccinated to prevent recurrence. The thrombocytopenia purpura in children is usually self-limiting, with about 80% of patients experiencing spontaneous remission within six months. Acute thrombocytopenia purpura is mostly self-healing and is a benign disease. Treatment includes identifying and avoiding the allergen as much as possible; medication should be best guided by a doctor, and vaccination is still not recommended at this time.
