Abstract

The association of hepatitis A and immune thrombocytopenic purpura is unusual and mostly seen in adults. We described a 9.5-year-old boy in whom severe immune thrombocytopenic purpura developed as the manifestation of acute hepatitis A virus infection. Thrombocytopenic purpura is rarely described in association with hepatitis A, but this hematologic complication has never been reported as a manifestation of hepatitis A in childhood period.

Özet

HepatitA ve immun trombositopeni beraberliği nadirdir ve çoğunlukla erişkinlerde görülür. 9.5 yaşındaki erkek çocukta hepatitA virüs infeksiyonunun belirtisi olarak gelişen ağır immun trombositopenik purpura tanımlandı. Trombositopenik purpura nadiren hepatit A ile beraber olmasına karşın bu hematolojik komplikasyon hepatitA'nın bir belirtisi olarak daha önceden tanımlanmamıştır.
