Acute thrombocytopenic purpura and poststreptococcal acute glomerulonephritis in a child.

ABSTRACT

The occurrence of acute idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura in association with poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis in a 5 1/2-year-old boy is described. This association has been reported only in two cases in the literature. We are reporting the first biopsy-proven confirmation of this association.
