Background: Conventional or homeopathic treatment of chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is often difficult. The use of homeopathic dilutions of patient blood (HPB) for immunomodulation has been described, which inspired us to try the method in an ITP case. Case Report: A 2-year-old girl with chronic ITP was treated with homeopathic dilutions of her own capillary blood, given orally over 5 months. Immediately after treatment onset there was a rapid normalization of the thrombocyte counts. Within 6 weeks, they rose from 15,000/µl to 254,000/µl. After treatment stop, they decreased to 155,000/µl, increased again spontaneously to 270,000/µl and remained within normal range for over 3 years. Conclusions: Oral administration of homeopathic dilutions of capillary patient blood may possibly be an effective treatment in chronic ITP. If our results can be reproduced, this will revolutionize the treatment of ITP.
