Abstract

A 12-month-old Caucasian female with a history of recurrent ear infections presented to the emergency room with petechiae, severe thrombocytopenia (4000/μL), and abnormally prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time. Further autoantibody investigation detected antinuclear antibodies, anti-double-stranded DNA, and antiphospholipid antibodies. Platelet count, in response to intravenous immunoglobulin infusion, increased to more than 100 × 103 plt/μL. At 6-month follow-up, no positive autoantibodies were detected.
