Immune Thrombocytopenia and JAK2V617F Positive Essential Thrombocythemia: Literature Review and Case Report

الملخص EN

We present the case where immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) sequentially appeared in the space of twenty-one years of follow-up.

Impaired platelet production is present in both diseases, but clinical presentation and treatment are different.

On the basis of this case history a possible role of autoimmunity as a predisposing factor to myeloproliferation has been discussed.
