[Severe thrombocytopenia associated with simultaneous cytomegalovirus and Epstein-barr virus infection in an immunocompetence patient].
A 22 year old woman, without preceeding immunological and hematological disorders was hospitalized because of severe thrombocytopenia. The results of extended workup revealed simultaneous cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus infection as the most probable causative factor. Both, thrombocytopenia and the symptoms of viral infections resolved after consequent treatment with acyclovir, corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulines. Based on this original case report authors suggest the need of virological tests in newly diagnosed idiopatic thrombocytopenia.
