COVID-19 İlişkili Akut İmmün Trombositopenik Purpura: Sıradışı Pediatrik Bir Olgu

Abstract

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. Bu yazıda COVİD-19 enfeksiyonu sırasında teşhis edilen ve kanama bulgusu olmayan bir çocuk akut ITP olgusu sunulmaktadır.

COVID-19-Associated Acute Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura: An Unusual Pediatric Case

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.
