我们描述了一例罕见的由间日疟原虫感染引发的特发性血小板减少性紫癜（ITP）病例。患者出现血小板减少症和出血，与三次疟疾发作相关，并依赖皮质类固醇治疗。这种寄生虫引起血小板减少的机制仍然不清楚。(C)2003 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
We describe a rare case of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) triggered by Plasmodium vivax infection. The patient developed thrombocytopenia and bleeding associated with three episodes of malaria, and became dependent on corticosteroid therapy. The mechanisms by which this parasite evokes thrombocytopenia remain obscure. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
