Immune Thrombocytopenia Following Influenza Virus Infection and Influenza Vaccine Administration

Toru Shizuma

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) may be induced by the reaction of autoantibodies with platelets. Although the precise mechanism remains to be elucidated, certain viral infections or vaccine administration can lead to ITP. However, ITP induced by influenza virus infection or influenza vaccine administration is infrequent and thus there have been few related reports. Here, we present a review of relevant case reports in the English and Japanese literature.
