Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an idiopathic disorder which could betriggered by various factors including; drugs, rheumatic diseases and malignancies. We aimedto present a 66 year old woman diagnosed with ITP whose history was relevant for influenzavaccine and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (diclofenac) use. She responded well tostandard ITP therapy. In conclusion, medications should be elaborately questioned in patientswith thrombocytopenia, especially, when a diagnosis of ITP was considered.
