A CASE OF SYMPTOMATIC IDIOPATHIC THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA DURING MUMPS

Idiopathic (immune) thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a disease characterized by immune platelet destruction, and it generally limits itself. It is the most common cause of acquired thrombocytopenia in children. ITP displays thrombocytopenia, shortening of platelet survival, presence of antiplatelet antibody in the plasma, and an increase in the number of mature and immature megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. Antibodies produced against platelet antigens are attached to platelets and they are removed from circulation by RES. The disease is acute in 85–90% of cases in children and there is a viral infection history 1–4 weeks before the appearence of the symptoms in 50–65% of cases. Many viruses, such as EBV, CMV, varicella, rubella, rubeola, mumps, parvovirus, HIV, and even vaccination, are considered in the etiology [1, 2]. Mumps is a systemic viral infection characterized with one or more salivary glands with painful swelling, especially the parotid glands. It is still an endemic disease in our country because the vaccination is not routine. Thrombocytopenia is a rare complication of mumps and generally asymptomatic and reversible [3]. In this paper, a case that displays symptomatic ITP during mumps infection is presented.
