Abstract:
A 6-year-old girl presented with acute thrombocytopenic purpura. Hepatitis B surface antigenaemia was present at the time of this illness, and 8 weeks later she developed acute icteric hepatitis B. Screening for hepatitis B virus should be considered in children with apparently idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
