[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, ITP is an autoimmune disorder caused by viral infection most commonly.Many cases do not have any definite cause.ITP responds to steroids. Penicillin will not have any effect on the course of ITP, however, it can cause depression of bone marrow and thus reduction in bone marrow. Penicillin is not know to have such an effect, however, idiosyncratic effect or unexpected effects can occur. Get your platelet levels checked regularly. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
