Abstract
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is characterized by a persistently low platelet count, which can lead to serious bleeding such as gastritis and hemorrhagic stroke. The formation of auto-antibodies in ITP leads to increased destruction of platelets and then hampers hematopoiesis. Corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin are among the common treatments used for ITP, but they have significant side effects. This is a case report of a 27-year-old woman with ITP who was found to be anemic, thrombocytopenic, and had a ruptured ovarian cyst after the initial romiplostim therapy. The patient benefited from fluid resuscitation, blood transfusion, and corticosteroid therapy; then, the patient's condition improved. This case highlights the complications associated with managing ITP, emphasizing the importance of personalizing therapy regimens through regular monitoring to improve the balance of benefits and risk, resulting in a comprehensive treatment for chronic patients suffering from ITP.
