Abstract
|
|
|
|
Thrombocytopenia is a common event in the course of human immunodef-iciency virus (HIV) infection. The maior cause of HIV virus related thrombocytopenia is idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Treatment options for HIV related ITP are steroids, immunoglobulin, other immunosuppressive agents, and splenectomy. In addition, Antiretroviral agents are reported as effective treatment options in the setting of HIV-associated ITP, by enhancing CD4+ T cell counts, and reducing HIV viral loads. We report a case of HIV related ITP treated with prednisone, immunoglobulin, and highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
