Hepatitis B Vaccination and Infantile Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Kazem Sakha, Arman Malekian, Said AslanabadiDepartment of Pediatrics, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran.Since 1993, Iranian infants have been routinely vaccinated against hepatitis B. In the period of 1993-2002, twenty five children with infantile thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) were admitted to the Childrens Medical Center in Tabriz, Iran whereas between 1982 and 1992, only two cases were hospitalized with the same diagnosis. This suggests a cause and effect relationship between hepatitis B vaccination and ITP.
