Recent reports have suggested an association between Helicobacter pylori infection and both gastric mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and thrombocytopenic purpura. Although treatments eradicating H pylori lead to regression of these diseases in some cases, the exact mechanisms are still controversial. This case report describes a patient with thrombocytopenic purpura accompanied...

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) - also called idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura or immune thrombocytopenic purpura - is an acquired thrombocytopenia caused by autoantibodies against platelet antigens. It is one of the more common causes of thrombocytopenia in otherwise asymptomatic adults. Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a potentially lethal, but curable, tick-borne disease. We p...

Intr Mortality among leukemia patients admitted to the intensive care unit remains high [1] and bleeding complications are common in particular among thrombocytopenic patients [2]. Platelet levels measured in thrombocytopenic ICU patients reflect both the inherit and transfused platelets. ICU patients generally receive a high amount of transfusions [3] and hematological ICU patients are no exce...

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder leading to low platelet count and an increased risk of bleeding. Major joint replacement surgery in a patient with ITP can be associated with severe postoperative bleeding. We present our experience of perioperative management in a patient with severe refractory chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura who successfully under...

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) is caused by production of platelet autoantibody. Then ITP can be various viral infections, including Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis C (HCV), cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, Zika virus and others [1].

thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (ttp) is a rare syndrome affecting multiple organs. there is no sufficient evidence regarding the clinical cardiac manifestations of ttp. nonetheless, pathologic cardiac involvement is quite frequent in acute ttp, which is predominantly manifested as myocardial necrosis due to coronary arteriolar microthrombosis. the present case report describes a 43-year-ol...

mediastinal neoplasms are uncommon tumors that can occur at any age but are most common through the fifth decades of life. a wide variety of systemic disorders are associated with 71% of thymomas. the symptoms of these as sociated disorders often lead to the original discovery of the mediastinal tumor. a 35-year-old female with petechia and purpura was admitted to sina hospital of the city of h...

itp is an autoimmune blood disorder in which platelet destruction is mediated by anti-platelet antibodies. the mechanisms of anti-platelet antibodies development are still a little known. the rate of some bacterial or viral agents in cause of itp is well known. recently, some study proposed that h pylori infection may be associated with itp and h pylori eradication can improves platelet counts ...
