Molecular mimicry and immune thrombocytopenia.
Immune thrombocytopenia is a common complication of infection with the human immunodeficiency (HIV)1 and hepatitis C (HCV)2 viruses. In previous works, the authors showed that many patients with HIVassociated thrombocytopenia have autoantibodies that recognize a restricted peptide sequence (GPIIIa49-66) in platelet membrane glycoprotein IIIa (GPIIIa) and can be recovered from patient plasma in ...

متن کاملImmune thrombocytopenia as a paraneoplastic syndrome in patients with nasopharyngeal cancer.
BACKGROUND Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) presenting with thrombocytopenia is rare. This report details 2 cases of NPC with grade III thrombocytopenia as a paraneoplastic syndrome. METHODS We present 2 cases of NPC in whom grade III thrombocytopenia was diagnosed concurrently at presentation. One patient underwent definitive intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in combination with concur...
متن کاملImmune Thrombocytopenia Associated with Hepatitis A Infection in Children
Hepatitis A infection is usually a self–limited disease during childhood. Autoimmune manifestations are rarely reported among patients with HA infection. We describe a previously healthy 6-yr-old male with acute hepatitis A who developed immune thrombocytopenia.
