Abstract EN
Various hematological abnormalities commonly occur in active tuberculosis (TB) but thrombocytopenia is exceed¬ingly rare and immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is reported in only a few cases.
A 28-year-old male pre¬sented with thrombocytopenia-induced epistaxis and gen¬eralized purpura that did not respond to intravenous im¬munoglobulin but did resolve after antituberculous treat¬ment.
The characteristics of this rarely documented asso¬ciation are reviewed.
