AbstractImmune thrombocytopenia is an autoimmune condition with increased platelet destruction. Immune thrombocytopenic purpura is an uncommon and rare manifestation of tuberculosis. A search of the literature available on TB-associated ITP identified only around 50 cases published between 1964 and 2016. We present an uncommon and interesting case of severe isolated immune thrombocytopenia secondary to bilateral tubercular cervical lymphadenopathy and pott's spine in 26 year old Indian male. Due to severe thrombocytopenia patient was managed with IVIg and steroids along with anti tubercular therapy. Early diagnosis and treatment with Anti tubercular therapy is important for effective control of bleeding manifestations.
