摘要
Alopecia areata (AA) has been associated with a variety of autoimmune diseases, Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disease marked by isolated thrombocytopenia, We present a young girl with the simultaneous onset of AA and ITP. To the best of our knowledge, this association has not previously been reported. We hypothesize that ITP may be one of many autoimmune diseases associated with AA via antibodies that cross-react between platelet membrane glycoproteins and follicular glycoproteins.
