Autoimmune Thrombocytopenic Purpura in Hepatitis A Infection

Gelişmemiş ülkelerde, yetersiz aşılama, kötü hijyen ve yaşam koşulları nedeniyle hepatit A yaygındır. Sekonder immun trombositopeni, Hepatit B ve C enfeksiyonlarında sık görülürken, akut hepatit A enfeksiyonu bulgusu olarak nadiren bildirilmiştir. Sekonder immun trombositopenik purpurası olan akut hepatit A enfeksiyonlu 2 olgu burada sunulmuştur.

Hepatit A Enfeksiyonunda İmmün Trombositopenik Purpura

In undeveloped countries, Hepatitis A is common and endemic because of unimmunization, unhygienic nutrition and poor living conditions. Secondary immune thrombocytopenia is frequently seen in hepatitis B and C infections. It is rarely reported with acute hepatitis A. Two cases of autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura with acute hepatitis A is presented here.
