Immune Thrombocytopenia and JAK2V617F Positive Essential Thrombocythemia: Literature Review and Case Report

Abstract: We present the case where immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) sequentially appeared in the space of twenty-one years of follow-up. Impaired platelet production is present in both diseases, but clinical presentation and treatment are different. On the basis of this case history a possible role of autoimmunity as a predisposing factor to myeloproliferation has been discussed.

“…ET and ITP are different blood diseases with PLT counts at opposite extremes. So far, only 2 previous reports described ET following ITP [7] , [8] . Hereby we describe a third case of ET diagnosed 13 years after ITP diagnosis.…”

“…We present a case of ITP with subsequent development of JAK2(V617F)positive ET, after four years of follow-up. There are only a few cases reported of ET in patients with a prior history of ITP [9,10]. The pathophysiology relating to these two conditions is incompletely understood, however, JAK2(V617F) mutation has been found in all the cases reported.…”

“…We have identified in the literature five cases of ITP with subsequent development of ET (group 1, Table 1) [1][2][3][4][5]. ET was diagnosed several years after ITP (3.5, 4, 7, 13, and 21 years, respectively).…”
