ABSTRACT

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is diagnosed by exclusion, still appear illnesses associated with ITP, the latter were infected with hepatitis C virus and Helicobacter pylori. The objective is describe three patients with persistent thrombocytopenia after suffering with dengue hemorrhagic fiber with presentations clinical diversity including acute, chronic, responder and refractory to steroid. We describe three patients with persistent thrombocytopenia, had dengue hemorrhagic fiber on dengue epidemic in 2009 in Nayarit, Mexico. The three reported cases had similar characteristics to patients with ITP. With laboratory and clinical diversity among them, all were adults, two women and one man, one had complete remission with steroids, one only refers to the administration of steroids and the other is refractory to steroids. Dengue virus infection should be considered as a cause of PTI. This should be conceptualized as a syndrome thrombocytopenic and not as a separate disease. Might not be appropriate to the classification of primary and secondary ITP, simply place it as a cause thrombocytopenic syndrome to be identified.
