Investigating the link between Helicobacter pylori infection and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura a case–control study
A significant association between <i>H. pylori</i> infection and ITP was observed, supporting the need for routine screening in ITP patients, especially in endemic areas. Further studies should evaluate the platelet response after <i>H. pylori</i> eradication and assess the role of bacterial strain variability.
