Zika Virus Infection Associated With Severe Thrombocytopenia. Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America Sharp, T. M., Muñoz-Jordán, J., Perez-Padilla, J., Bello-Pagán, M. I., Rivera, A., Pastula, D. M., Salinas, J. L., Martínez Mendez, J. H., Méndez, M., Powers, A. M., Waterman, S., Rivera-García, B. 2016; 63 (9): 1198-1201Abstract
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.
