We report a case of a 24 months old child, diagnosed with corticodependent thrombocytopenia in which active cytomegalovirus infection was confirmed sustituir resaltado por: by means of serology and viris isolation in urine.. Due to the patient's worsening, we suspected a link between both processes and started oral valganciclovir, given for a total of 5 months. We documented excellent simultaneous response in both pathologies, and without relevant side effects.
