Article Abstract
Objective: The association between celiac disease (CD) and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is still uncertain. The aim of this study was to characterize the coexistence of these two diseases in Italian children.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective multicenter study investigating the occurrence of CD in 28 children with ITP diagnosed from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2019.
Results: The first diagnosis was ITP in 57.1% and CD in 32.1% of patients. In 3 patients (10.7%), the two diagnoses were simultaneous. All the potential and silent cases of CD in our cohort were diagnosed in the groups of “ITP first” and “simultaneous diagnosis”. In all children ITP was mild, and in 2 out of 8 not recovered from ITP at the time of CD diagnosis a normalization of platelet counts (>100,000/μL) occurred 3 and 5 months after starting a gluten-free diet, respectively.
Conclusion: We think that screening for CD should be considered in children with ITP regardless of the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms. Furthermore, some patients may recover from ITP after starting a gluten-free diet.

Background: Pediatric patients with autoimmune lymphoproliferative immunodeficiencies (ALPIDs) who exhibit autoimmune cytopenias are frequently diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), or Evans syndrome (ES). These conditions generally necessitate long-term immunosuppressive therapy using medications that are often ineffective and highly toxic before the diagnosis of ALPIDs. A less harmful treatment strategy is needed.

Evans syndrome is a rare condition that can be seen among patients with pre-existing rheumatological disorders such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or adult-onset Still's disease. There is an association between positive anti-phospholipid antibodies and the development of Evans syndrome, but the underlying pathophysiology remains unknown. To our knowledge, this is one of the few case reports to date that describes the development of Evans syndrome triggered by parvovirus B19 in patients with pre-existing positive antiphospholipid antibodies.

Introduction: Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is the most common bleeding disorder in children. Tfh cells play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of ITP by promoting the production of anti-platelet autoantibodies. Recent studies have shown that CXCR5 T cells not only possess "Tfh-like" cell functions but also can induce Tfh cell differentiation.

Objectives Microfluidic assays offer a promising solution for accessing the state of the hemostasis system, testing drugs and adjusting anticoagulant dosages. However, standardisation of such assays is still missing. We aimed to design a robust and readily accessible microfluidic assay, which follows recent SSC guidelines and is sensitive to hemostatic abnormalities.

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a malignancy of the lymphatic system often associated with immune dysfunction. This case describes an 11-year-old boy presenting with epistaxis, petechiae, and thrombocytopenia (40 000/μl), initially diagnosed as immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Further evaluation revealed lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly.
