Abstract
|
|
|
|
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia. Many viruses and some vaccines have been identified as triggering the autoimmune process, including parvovirus, human immunodeficiency virus, Epstein-Barr virus, rubella, and measles. However, ITP in association with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination has not been reported so far. We describe the cases of two young girls affected by ITP presenting a quick reduction of platelet count after receiving Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
