title: [Thrombocytopenia in a patient with hemophilia and HIV infection treated with intravenous immunoglobulin and splenectomy].
abstract: In a patient with haemophilia B who had developed immune thrombocytopenia following HIV infection, high doses of intravenous immunoglobulin were administered. The therapy brought about only a temporary rise in platelet counts. No beneficial effects were also obtained during a 3-month treatment with corticosteroids. Since there was no response to the conservative therapy, the patient was splenectomized under the cover of factor IX concentrate and the surgical procedure resulted in a complete remission of the thrombocytopenia.
