Platelets are essential blood component involved in primary hemostasis. A platelet count of less than 150 × 109/L is considered to be thrombocytopenia The causes of thrombocytopenia can be divided into two major groups, a decreased production of platelets or an under proliferative BM and an over-destruction of platelets. Under proliferative BM defects most common cause is aplastic anemia, On the contrary, peripheral destruction of platelets may be as a result of an immune-mediated process namely immune thrombocytopenia (ITP)
