Abstract:
Acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura has an annual incidence of about 4 per 100000 children and usually presents after a viral illness with new-onset petechiae, easy bruisability, and, occasionally, mucosal bleeding. It usually follows an uneventful course en route to a spontaneous recovery. We describe a patient with chronic otitis media who developed idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura as a postmyringotomy complication.
