It was concluded that the proper dosage of prednisolone given these children should be 1 mg/kg per day. However, the number of the patients in the study was rather small, so further clinical studies and treatment with 1 mg/kg and 2 mg/kg per day of prednisolone in childhood ITP are warranted.Mahidol UniversityMedicineArticleSCOPUS
