Abstract

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a hematological disease manifested by isolated thrombocytopenia. Viral infections in the last month are often found in its etiology. After COVID-19 infection, various hematological complications can be seen, as well as the development of ITP. In this article, a case of pediatric acute ITP who was diagnosed during COVID-19 infection and had no signs of bleeding is presented.

Özet

İmmün trombositopenik purpura (İTP), izole trombositopeni ile kendini gösteren hematolojik bir hastalıktır. Etiyolojisinde son bir aydaki viral enfeksiyonlar sıklıkla bulunur. COVİD-19 enfeksiyonu sonrası çeşitli hematolojik komplikasyonların yanı sıra ITP gelişimi de görülebilmektedir.
