摘要
Background: Romiplostim is a second-generation thrombopoietic receptor agonist that exerts its therapeutic effect by stimulating megakaryopoiesis. Case Report: We report a patient with immune thrombocytopenic purpura refractory to other therapies including splenectomy, which was successfully managed with romiplostim. More specifically, the patient's platelet count showed a 3-fold increase within 7 days following the first dose of romiplostim (from 33x10(9)/l to 96x10(9)/l). Conclusions: Romiplostin is a new trombopoietin peptide mimetic drug, which seems to be very effective for the management of refractory chronic ITP in adults.
