Abstract:
A case of acute thrombocytopenia associated with post-streptococcal acute glomerulonephritis is described. The patient showed a mild glomerulonephritis and a remarkable increase of platelet-associated immunoglobulin G (PAIgG). The relation between the mild degree of glomerulonephritis and the high PAIgG value is discussed.
