title: [Efficacy of azidothymidine in thrombopenia associated with HIV infection].
abstract: We report an observation where a patient suffering HIV related thrombocytopenia was followed up for 23 months. Introduction or reintroduction of azidothymidine obtained a raise of platelet rate. When azidothymidine was stopped, platelet rate climbed down. This observation is in agreement with recent data suggesting efficiency of azidothymidine on HIV related thrombocytopenia.
