| 2 | Immune thrombocytopenic purpura induced by intestinal tuberculosis in a liver transplant recipient显示文摘A variety of clinical manifestations are associated directly or indirectly with tuberculosis. Among them, haematological abnormalities can be found in both the pulmonary and extrapulmonary forms of the disease. We report a case of immune thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP) associated with intestinal tuberculosis in a liver transplant recipient. The initial management of thrombocytopenia, with steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin, was not successful, and the lack oftuberculosis symptoms hampered a proper diagnostic evaluation. After the diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis and the initiation of specific treatment, a progressive increase in the platelet count was observed. The mechanism of ITP associated with tuberculosis has not yet been well elucidated, but this condition should be considered in cases of ITP that are unresponsive to steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin, especially in immunocompromised patients and those from endemic areas. | Renata dos Santos Lugao Marina Pamponet Motta Matheus Freitas Cardoso de Azevedo Roque Gabriel Rezende de Lima Flávia de Azevedo Abrantes Edson Abdala Flair José Carrilho Daniel Ferraz de Campos Mazo | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，25： | 0 |
