swine flu vaccine causes ITP on hiv+ not on meds. Dec 18, 2009 dear all the proteines contained on the swine flu vaccine accelerated a downfall on my bloodplates for 90K to 3K in 3 weeks time, causing ITP , now I am on prednisol and had to start with haart (atripla). My bloodplates are still low and fluctuate from 10k to 7k. I am now being treated at the OLVG hospital in amsterdam. |

 Thanks for posting that-I had not seen a report linking H1N1 vaccine to severe ITP in HIV+ persons. We have been routinely giving the injection form of the vaccine to our HIV+ patients and have not seen any such complications but will remain vigilant. KH | ||||||||
