T cell immune abnormalities in ITP pathogenesis. Immune thrombocytopenia pathogenesis is a complicated process. T cell immune abnormalities are involved in ITP pathogenesis. These abnormalities include platelet auto-antigen reactive cytotoxic T cells, abnormal numbers and functions of T regulatory cells, loss of Th1/Th2 balance, megakaryocyte maturation abnormalities and abnormal T cell anergy.
