Abstract :
In undeveloped countries, Hepatitis A is common and endemic because of unimmunization, unhygienic nutrition and poor living conditions. Secondary immune thrombocytopenia is frequently seen in hepatitis B and C infections. It is rarely reported with acute hepatitis A. Two cases of autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura with acute hepatitis A is presented here.
