Key Words Autoimmune thrombocytopenia; Pegylated interferon; Chronic hepatitis C; Viral hepatitis; Anti-platelet antibody
Core Tip This is the second case report of autoimmune thrombocytopenia (AITP) occurred after peg-interferon/ribavirin treatment completion: generally, AITP was observed in course of interferon treatment. To our knowledge, among 24 interferon-related AITP cases reported in literature, in 23 cases the side effect occurred during treatment while in only one after treatment completion. Physicians using interferon-based antiviral therapy should be aware that acute AITP can occur both during and after treatment; in the case of suspected AITP, presence of anti-platelet antibodies should be checked not only during treatment but also after discontinuation.
