Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) As a Complication of COVID-19: A Case Report
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a condition that can occur either spontaneously or as a secondary complication of preexisting disorders, often associated with viral infections. In the context of COVID-19, hematological manifestations, including thrombocytopenia, have been observed and linked to increased mortality rates among severely infected patients.Presented here is a case study of a 70-year-old man who recovered from COVID-19 but subsequently developed ITP. The severity of his thrombocytopenia exceeded what is typically observed during COVID-19 infections, leading to a diagnosis of ITP. Treatment with steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) was initiated based on specialist recommendations, resulting in an adequate response.
