Dear sir,  I have a health query for my niece. We are residing in Hermitage , Tennessee, USA.My niece is suffering from low platelets count (ITP) since year 2008. She has been undergoing treatment at Vanderbilt Hospital since 2008 and still doctors are unable to give positive results as a result her count steadily remains below10. Recently one month back they gave her steroids and still could not imrove on her counts. Now they have started 4 course of retuximab. They have already infused 3times once a week but still counts are below 10. As a result of seeing no improvement we are planning to see a specialist in India. If you could throw some light whether this is curable or not and if yes please advise.  Regards, Vijesh Patel. Niece name Parin Patel age 16.
