Concurrent immune thrombocytopenic purpura and guillain-barre syndrome in a patient with hashimoto's thyroiditis
Tue, 09/19/2006 - 03:00Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) are autoimmune disorders caused by impaired self-tolerance mechanisms triggered by interaction between genetic and environmental factors.
