Thrombocytopenia is a frequent complication of cancer may be due to a variety of causes including malignancy itself, acute disease processes, or cancer therapy. Systemic cancer therapy is the most common cause of thrombocytopenia in cancer patients observed nearly two-thirds of patients with solid tumors. Thrombocytopenia with traditional chemotherapy agents is most frequently the result of megakaryocyte cytotoxicity. Oxaliplatin is a platinum derivative commonly used in gastrointestinal malignancies and is associated with drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia.

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder that causes isolated thrombocytopenia. Many viruses have been identified as triggering the autoimmune process, including HIV, MCV, EBV, parvovirus, rubella and measles. However, ITP in association with coronavirus infection has not previously been reported. We describe the case of a healthy man who presented with severe ITP complicated by intracranial haemorrhage following upper respiratory tract infection. An infection screen revealed coronavirus infection.

We report a case of a Chinese neonate who was diagnosed with Noonan syndrome and had persistent, self-limited thrombocytopenia. The neonate was admitted to the Neonatology Department 20 minutes after birth because of respiratory distress. From birth until 2 months of age, platelet values fluctuated between approximately 6 and 30 × 109/L. There was no intracranial hemorrhage. However, the child had a transient hypocalcemic seizure and fever. We excluded thrombocytopenia caused by perinatal asphyxia, immune thrombocytopenia, fetomaternal alloimmune thrombocytopenia, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, and chromosome 13, 18, and 21 trisomy syndromes. Despite treatment with anti-infective agents and transfusion of platelets and immunoglobulin, the platelet count did not return to the normal range. Genetic testing confirmed a PTPN11 gene mutation, which led to the diagnosis of Noonan syndrome. At 3 months of age, the platelet count gradually increased without intervention and returned to the normal range by 6 months. We speculate that the thrombocytopenia in this case was closely related to Noonan syndrome.
