Abstract
Autoimmune cytopenias (AICs) are frequently associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The most common of these AICs is autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA); the second most is immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Here, we report on a patient with CLL-associated ITP, with thrombocytopenia refractory to corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulins, in which continuous oral treatment with Eltrombopag allowed initiation and maintenance of an oral anticoagulation treatment with Acenocoumarol that was indicated because of a severe arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.
