- Authors
Konda, Meghan; Fletcher, Matthew; Warrier, Rajasekharan
- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 14-year-old White female presented to her pediatrician with easy bruising, fatigue, and menorrhagia, and she denied fevers, night sweats, unexplained weight change, gingival bleeding, epistaxis, hematuria, or recent illnesses. The article discusses that ITP can present itself as a primary process or as a secondary process related to autoimmune conditions; and ITP can present itself as increased bruising, and mucocutaneous bleeding with varying severity.
