Abstract
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, a common acquired bleeding disorder in pediatric patients, is an autoimmune disorder characterized by a low platelet count. Organ transplant can transfer such diseases, but the occurrence of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura after liver transplant is rare. Here, we report a 17-month-old girl who was diagnosed with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and who had a history of liver transplant 11 months earlier. Treatment of cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus infection led to a successful outcome.
