Pages: 
113–6
Synopsis: 
Helicobacter pylori infection and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug usage are frequent in children. They are considered risk factors for gastrointestinal bleeding. Ibuprofen and acetylsalicylic acid intake were found to be significant in the aetiology of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Helicobacter pylori was not found to be significant.

Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura Associated with Hepatitis A Infection in a Five-year Old Boy: A Case Report

Issue: 
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2013.176
Pages: 
536–8
ABSTRACT
 
Acute hepatitis A infection is usually a self-limiting disease and mostly asymptomatic in children younger than six years old. Extrahepatic autoimmune manifestations such as immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) have been reported rarely in children with acute hepatitis A infection. We report herein a paediatric case with ITP which is due to hepatitis A virus infection.
