    This document discusses a case study of a patient who presented with both autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and dengue fever. The patient, a 10-year old girl, exhibited symptoms common to both conditions including low platelet count and bleeding. The authors, including researchers from the Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán, describe the case and treatment, which involved platelet transfusions and medications typically used for ITP. Analysis determined the concurrent occurrence of the two conditions was likely due to an immune response triggered by the dengue infection.
