AB Thrombocytopenia that is associated with infection due to human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is an important and common hematologic
abnormality. Although this condition is often asymptomatic, it may
manifest clinically as a spectrum of bleeding problems including
petechiae, ecchymoses, epistaxis, or menorrhagia or as hemorrhage of the
gingivae, gastrointestinal tract, or CNS. Thrombocytopenia may be
present in patients at any stage of immunodeficiency, and spontaneous
remission can occur. We review the natural history of HIV-related
thrombocytopenia and discuss treatment options.
