ITP - Immune Thrombocytopenia, a blood condition that affects to platelets in the body. Usually due to an unkown cause, the body's immune system attacks the platelets in it's own blood, possibly due to mistaking it for an alien substance. As a result people diagnosed with the condition are more susceptable to bleeding, and may bruise easily (sometimes without a known cause). ITP is also a fairly rare condition, with about 4 in 100,000 people being affected, and 3 in 4 of those people being female.
