We report a previously healthy 14-year-old Asian boy who developed secondary ITP following an asymptomatic COVID-19 infection and is having a relapsing and remitting cause with poor response to immunosuppressants even after 21 months following the diagnosis. This case emphasizes the importance of testing for COVID-19 in newly diagnosed ITP patients and the need for follow-up platelet counts in patients who recover from COVID-19 as it may follow into developing secondary ITP yet being asymptomatic until you present with a bleeding complication of ITP. The poor response to standard immunosuppression warrants more understanding of the pathophysiology of persistently low platelets following COVID-19 infection. Long-term sequelae of the disease highlight the importance of getting vaccinated for COVID-19 despite COVID-19 being no longer a global emergency.","PeriodicalId":9608,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Infectious Diseases","volume":"4 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139000955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As such, the combination of its relatively low incidence in the United States coupled with its variability in associated symptoms poses a diagnostic challenge for clinicians; early empiric treatment with doxycycline is warranted prior to a definitive diagnosis to reduce the risk of damage to vital organs. <i>Case Report</i>. This case describes a 54-year-old male who presented to an emergency room in Houston, Texas, with one week of constant right upper quadrant abdominal pain and fevers up to 40°C. The patient was initially diagnosed with Grade III severe acute cholangitis after abdominal ultrasound revealed gallbladder sludge and wall thickening without ductal dilatation, but a subsequent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was unremarkable.
