Interesting...

   My son had a bacterial infection, and received a sulfa drug injection shortly before he developed ITP at age 3.  He is now 19 years old, and we have never seen a repeat.  We have also NEVER given him a sulfa drug either.

H. pylori eradication 
Researchers in Japan (including Ryugo Sato, Oita University) and Italy 
(including Massimo Franchini, University of Verona) have found a possible 
connection between H. Pylori (Helicobacter Pylori) infection and ITP. Some 
patients given antibiotic treatment to eradicate the bacterial infection 
have had their platelet count increase dramatically.[citation]
