Zika Virus Infection Associated With Severe Thrombocytopenia.

We report two patients that developed severe thrombocytopenia after Zika virus (ZIKV) infection. The first patient had 1000 platelets/µL and died after multiple hemorrhages. The second patient had 2000 platelets/µL, had melena and ecchymoses, and recovered after receiving intravenous immunoglobulin. ZIKV may be associated with immune-mediated severe thrombocytopenia.
