摘要
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disease characterized by immune-mediated destruction of platelets, resulting in a decreased blood platelet count (less than 100 x 109/L) in the absence of other known etiology of thrombocytopenia. ITP is uncommon in adult males. The signs and symptoms of ITP vary widely and are quite diverse. The degree of thrombocytopenia and bleeding are not always correlated. Timely diagnosis, intervention, and regular monitoring can easily prevent complications. We report a case of a 22-year-old male presented with gum bleeding along with purpura and ecchymosis over the upper limb, lower limb, trunk, and face.
