Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura and Hemolytic Anemia Secondary to Hepatitis A

چکیده
Hepatitis A is common in children and usually is a self-limiting disease. Although extrahepatic and hematological immune manifestations following acute hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection have rarely been reported, they are frequently observed in other viral hepatitis. In this paper, we report the case of a 3-year-old girl who developed immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and hemolytic anemia after HAV infection. She was presented with malaise, pallor, ecchymosis, petechiae and purpura on the trunk and extremities.

Med J Malaysia Vol 67 No 3 June 2012 INTRODUCTION Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), which predominantly affects women and usually responds to immunosuppressive therapy, is a disease characterized by hypergammaglobulinemia, increased titers of serum tissue autoantibody, and an immunogenetic background. This disease can present with a variety of coexisting non-hepatic disorders presumably caused by imm...

The mortality for dogs with severe immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) is unacceptably high, and better immunosuppressive regimens are needed to increase survival. Understanding the basic immunology of the disease and the mechanisms of action of the available immunosuppressive therapies will help clinicians choose an appropriate immunosuppressive protocol. Prospective, randomized clinical s...

A 44-year-old woman was found to have elevated aminotransferases, twice the upper limit of normal. Liver biopsy demonstrated a mixed inflammatory process suggestive of both primary biliary cirrhosis and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). Prednisone and azathioprine were started, with normalization of aminotransferases. Six months later, she returned with worsening pruritus and re-evaluation demonstrat...
