Core Tip	In this review, we summarize recent updates on basic and clinical aspects of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-associated immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). We highlight the efficacy of H. pylori eradication in adult and childhood ITP as well as in secondary ITP, variability in the efficacy of eradication in various countries, factors predicting the eradication-related platelet response, and the mechanisms responsible for the development of ITP in association with H. pylori infection. It is apparent that in a distinct subgroup of H. pylori-associated ITP, this bacterial infection is central to the ITP pathogenesis.
