Abstract
This case report describes a patient who presented with Stage IV B Hodgkin's disease and autoimmune thrombocytopenia. Prior to the institution of therapy the presence of platelet-associated IgG was documented. When the patient was treated with steroids and chemotherapy, the thrombocytopenia resolved and platelet-associated IgG disappeared. Splenectomy alone did not correct the thrombocytopenia. The literature on Hodgkin's disease and autoimmune thrombocytopenia is reviewed.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
