Immune thrombocytopenia associated with tuberculosis
Clinical Pediatrics
|April 1, 1983
Abstract:
Thrombocytopenia associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection developed concurrently in a mother and son. Antiplatelet antibodies were demonstrated in the serum of both patients. It is suggested that this and possibly other hematologic complications associated with tuberculosis are immune mediated.
