Plasma CCL5, CXCL11, and CCL11 levels. a Compared to normal controls, CCL5 levels were reduced in the active ITP. In responders (ITP patients who responded well to HD-DXM), CCL5 improved significantly but still lower than control (P = 0.000 < 0.05). b Compared to control, CXCL11 levels were increased in active ITP patients (P = 0.000 < 0.05). In responders, CXCL11 levels decreased, but were still higher than controls (P = 0.018). c Compared to control, CCL11 levels in active ITP patients were lower than in controls (P = 0.000 < 0.05). Responders had significantly higher CCL11 levels than active ITP patients that were not significantly different from control (P = 0.255 > 0.05). Asterisk represents P < 0.01 vs control and responders, ^# P < 0.05 and ^## P < 0.01 vs control
