Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP) secondary to vaccinations is rare, especially after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). A 31-yearold female received autologous HSCT for relapsed Hodgkin Disease, with platelet engraftment at Day+14. One week after receiving second scheduled vaccinations, she developed severe thrombocytopenia (3x109/L) associated with pharyngeal hematoma. Bone marrow (BM) examinations were consistent with ITP, possibly secondary to Influenza vaccine. Platelet increment was poor despite high dose corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), Danazol and Eltrombopag. A repeated BM biopsy was in agreement with ITP. Re-treatment with tapering doses of prednisolone resulted in stable platelet counts at 120x109/L a year later.
