ABSTRACT

Acute hepatitis A is usually a benign and self-limiting disease. Although many viral infections such as hepatitis B virus, Parvovirus, and Epstein-Barr virus are associated with extrahepatic autoimmune phenomena, such manifestations are rare in patients with acute hepatitis A infection. Immune thrombocytopenia is a benign, self-limiting disease in children, responding well to treatment and generally associated with viral infections. Immune thrombocytopenic purpura [ITP] is rarely reported as a manifestation of acute hepatitis A. We report a case of four and a half years old boy with immune thrombocytopenic purpura as a manifestation of acute hepatitis A infection which responded to Anti-D. Acute hepatitis A should be included in the differential diagnosis of immune thrombocytopenic purpura

ABSTRACT

Autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (ATP) is a bleeding disorder caused by excessive destruction of antibody-coated platelets. It is known that platelet destruction takes place in macrophages of reticulo-endothelial system, but immunological mechanisms involved in such destruction are unknown. The objective of this article is to review the literature concerning pathogenesis of ATP: to have controlled experimental conditions some animal laboratory models have been used. The (NZW X BXSB) F1 mice have been studied as autoimmune disease model and Harrington mouse as an immune purpura model. Studies in humans suggest that there are some differences in pathogenesis of acute or chronic ATP, particularly in reactive T cells. For example, in chronic form there are high levels of The (CD4+) activity concomitant with low levels of T suppressor (CD8+) activity, while in acute form there is no dominance of any particular T cell activity or CD4+ is even decreased. Mitogen lymphocyte proliferation is increased in chronic ATP but decreased in acute form.

ABSTRACT

Se desarrollaron tres métodos para la detección de inmunoglobulina IgG, IgA e IgM asociada a la membrana plaquetaria. Los valores de densidad óptica (DO) de 50 donantes obtenidos por estas técnicas fueron de 0,124-0,236, 0,07-0,129 y 0,06-0,112 para las IgG, IgA e IgM, respectivamente. Se aceptaron como positivas las muestras con una DO mayor de tres desviaciones estándar de la media de los controles negativos. Se obtuvieron resultados positivos en 10 de los 12 pacientes (83,3 por ciento) con púrpura trombocitopénica autoinmune crónica (PTI-c). En todos los casos en remisión los resultados fueron negativos. La IgG fue la clase de inmunoglobulina más frecuentemente detectada tanto en la PTI-a como en la PTI-, seguida por la IgM y la IgA. La frecuencia con que se detectó una sola clase de inmunoglobulina fue similar a la frecuencia con que se detectaron combinaciones de más de un isotipo, en ambas formas de PTI. En 11 de los 23 pacientes con trombocitopenias y otros diagnósticos de enfermedades hematológicas o autoinmunes se encontraron resultados positivos. En estos casos de trombocitopenias autoinmunes secundarias fue frecuente encontrar la coexistencia de más de un isotipo de inmunoglobulina. Los métodos desarrollados permitirán realizar estudios acerca de la significación clínica del espectro de clases de inmunoglobulinas en las trombocitopenias autoinmunes.
