Sometimes, your immune system can mistake parts of your own body for foreign invaders. It releases special antibodies, called autoantibodies, that attack your cells and tissues. Autoantibodies can damage your joints, skin, muscles, and other parts of your body. Antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) are a type of autoantibody that attacks proteins inside your cells. It is likely that he has Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) where the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys platelets, antibodies produced by the immune system attach themselves to the platelets, marking the platelets for destruction. This condition can be treated and managed by medication such as immunosuppresants, Injections to increase your blood count, drugs that boost platelet production and tranfusion of blood and platelets. To increase the platelet count papaya leaf juice has shown to be effective.

It looks like a case of itp ITP occurs when certain immune system cells produce antibodies against platelets. Platelets help your blood clot by clumping together to plug small holes in damaged blood vessels. The antibodies attach to the platelets. The body destroys the platelets that carry the antibodies. In children, the disease sometimes follows a viral infection. In adults, it is more often a long-term (chronic) disease and can occur after a viral infection, with use of certain drugs, during pregnancy, or as part of an immune disorder. ITP affects women more often than men. It is more common in children than adults. In children, the disease affects boys and girls equally. Medical treatment is recommended for this problem. Consult for future treatment  discussion.
