Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), also known as immune thrombocytopenic purpura, is a hematological disorder characterized by a decreased platelet count, predisposing patients to bleeding. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been linked to multiple cases of newly diagnosed ITP and is usually found in moderate-to-severe infections, peaking in children and elderly adults. Menorrhagia is the medical term for menstrual periods with abnormally heavy or prolonged bleeding occurring at regular intervals or prolonged uterine bleeding lasting more than seven days. Here, we report the case of a 23-year-old African American female who presented with the chief complaint of menorrhagia and was subsequently diagnosed as having ITP induced by an asymptomatic COVID-19 infection.
免疫性血小板减少症（ITP），也称为免疫性血小板减少性紫癜，是一种血液系统疾病，其特征为血小板计数减少，使患者易发生出血。2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）已与多例新诊断的ITP病例相关联，且通常在中重度感染中出现，在儿童和老年人中达到高峰。月经过多是指月经周期正常但出血量异常增多或持续时间延长，或子宫出血持续超过七天的医学术语。在此，我们报告一例23岁非裔美国女性病例，该患者以月经过多为主诉就诊，随后被诊断为无症状COVID-19感染诱发的ITP。
