 AB    Thrombocytopenia that is associated with infection due to human
       immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is an important and common hematologic
       abnormality. Although this condition is often asymptomatic, it may
       manifest clinically as a spectrum of bleeding problems including
       petechiae, ecchymoses, epistaxis, or menorrhagia or as hemorrhage of the
       gingivae, gastrointestinal tract, or CNS. Thrombocytopenia may be
       present in patients at any stage of immunodeficiency, and spontaneous
       remission can occur. We review the natural history of HIV-related
       thrombocytopenia and discuss treatment options.
