Concurrent Miller Fisher Syndrome and Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Guillain-Barre syndrome (and its subvariants) and immune thrombocytopenic purpura, while both autoimmune disorders provoked by viral infection, rarely coincide. We present the case of a young man who developed both conditions after URI, review prior cases of comorbidity in the literature, and describe their pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management.
