Abstract

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura(ITP) is an autoimmune disease which cause thrombocytopenia by the autoantibody against plateletmembrane glycoproteins. It usually develops petechiae, purpra of the skin and mucosal bleeding for thrombocytopenia. It is uncommon for diffuse alveolar hemorrhage to be developed by ITP. We experienced a case of ITP in which a respiratory infection involved diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. Here we propose the possibility that alveolar inflammation participates in development of a diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, so it is necessary to pay enough attention to a respiratory infection in ITP.
