Abstract
SARS CoV-2 infection is associated with various hematological manifestations, including leucopenia, thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopenia. Severe thrombocytopenia is, however, rare and is associated with severe COVID-19. ITP remains an important differential among other causes. We report a case of HIV-TB-COVID-19 co-infection, without any feature of severe COVID, presenting with severe thrombocytopenia which resolved on its own; cause was attributed to immune-mediated effect of SARS CoV-2 virus.
