Abstract

Hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus are the hepatitis subtypes that most commonly induce immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Although the pathogenesis of viral hepatitis-associated ITP remains unclear, it may involve antibody cross-reactivity due to molecular mimicry, the formation of virus-platelet immune complexes, and T cell-mediated suppression of bone marrow hematopoiesis. Moreover, there is significant correlation between platelet count and the severity of viral hepatitis, the risk of progression to liver cirrhosis, and clinical prognosis. However, treatment of viral hepatitis-associated ITP is hindered by some antiviral drugs. In this review, we summarize research progress to date on the pathogenesis and treatment of viral hepatitis-related ITP, hoping to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
