Patient with purpuric lesions and severe platelet disease of 2.0 x 109/L. About respiratory symptoms he only referred dyspnea; on clinical ultrasound, we found B lines in several lung fields suggestive of bilateral pneumonic condensation, confirmed radiographically. SARS-CoV-2 PCR test was positive. The analytical results allowed us to conclude that it was immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) due to that virus.Treatment with hydroxychloroquine + lopinavir/ritonavir was initiated, also, methylprednisolone and immunoglobulin. The lesions remitted, the dyspnea disappeared and platelets increased. Subsequently, he required treatment with eltrombopag, which normalized platelet count.Paciente con lesiones purpúricas y plaquetopenia severa de 2,0...
