“…Those authors noted that a normal platelet survival was the rule in prednisolone‐induced thrombocytopenia, inferring that insufficient platelets were being produced in the marrow. Of interest are reports by Hammond (1952) and Chambers (1953) of thrombocytopenia occurring during multiple pregnancies and clearing up after parturition in each case. Minot (1936) gave an account of a patient who had recurrent thrombocytopenic purpura accompanying every menstrual period and remitting between them.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
