The occurrence of mild thrombocytopenia in the course of primary infection by HIV has also been reported recently by several authors (3, 4). We report here the case of a drug addict who had a primary HIV infection with mild thrombocytopenia and in whom antiplatelet antibodies were found.A 28-year-old man, who had been a drug addict since age 21, was admitted after 5 days of fever (38.5 °C), odynophagia, arthralgia, myalgia, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
