Thrombocytopenia Purpura Triggered by MMR or Other Vaccines

There are several types of Thrombocytopenia. The most common, Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP), is linked to the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR). However, MMR may not be the only vaccine to trigger ITP. Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP) or diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine, and the varicella vaccine may as well, though findings aren’t as strong with these as with the MMR vaccine to ITP.

What Is Thrombocytopenia?

Thrombocytopenia is a rare blood disorder, which occurs when your blood platelet count is low. Platelets are the blood cells that clump together to form clots to stop bleeding. Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP) is typically caused by a response in which your immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys its own platelets. When the platelet count is low, the clot won’t form, and this can cause easy or excessive bruising and bleeding.

Can I Get Vaccine Injury Compensation for ITP?

Yes, mctlaw has won hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation for clients with severe reactions to immunizations through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), a billion-dollar trust fund set up by the federal government to pay for these cases.

Recently, we represented an 8-year-old boy who developed a severe case of ITP after getting his MMR shot. His mother noticed reddish-purple spots on his arms and legs, some random bruises, and most concerning, small amounts of dried blood in his nostrils. At the hospital, they found his blood platelet count dangerously low. The treatments didn’t fix his platelet count and his ITP accelerated to spontaneous nosebleeds and even worse bruising. Over the next three years, he was in and out of the ER. Doctors used a combination of treatments to stabilize his blood counts. Now, his blood is still routinely monitored, he can’t participate in many activities, like contact sports, and always needs to be near medical facilities equipped to handle his ITP. He will be on immunotherapies for the rest of his life. His mctlaw vaccine injury team won a $176,500 compensation settlement from the VICP to cover past and future medical expenses related to his injury, as well as an amount for pain, suffering, and emotional distress.

Our attorneys represent Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP) clients in all 50 states in the Federal Vaccine Court at NO COST to you. This is because the federal government pays our legal fees for you. Our clients keep EVERY dollar awarded to them in compensation.

I can’t recommend this firm enough. They have an outstanding team that truly care for their clients…I have been awarded a fair six figure settlement.

When I say “they went to bat” for me…this Law Firm literally did just that. They persevered to bring the hard-nosed Manufacturer to settle and provide me some recompense for everything I had to endure which led to this suit.
