Résumé
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a bleeding disorder characterized by a decreased number of platelets. It is an immune system-mediated condition, with formation of antibodies against a structural platelet antigen. Although the pathogenesis remains elusive, primary disease is idiopathic and comprises 80% of cases. However, quite a few secondary causes have been established including Over-the-counter herbal products marketed as having beneficial effects are not always harmless and can have clinically significant side effects.When investigating the causes of thrombocytopenia, physicians should be aware of and search for this rare cause.Treatment for herbal tea-induced thrombocytopenia is the same as for immune thrombocytopenia (i.e., steroids and platelet transfusion if there is actively bleeding).
