Púrpura trombocitopénico inmune asociado a infección por virus hepatitis C en paciente hemofílico: Caso clínico
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a cause of secondary chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). We report a 43 year old man with mild Hemophilia A, who received blood transfusions during childhood, that consulted for epistaxis and ecchymoses. The laboratory showed a platelet count of 23.000/mm³, posi...
