Haematology

3/52 hx of epistaxis, oral mucosal bleeding and purpura over the feet and shins.

JM was diagnosed with idiopathic autoimmune thrombocytopenia purpura in 1996. He suffered from epistaxis, bleeding gums and purpura and his platelet level at this time was found to be 2 x 109g/L. Treated with corticosteroids, but refractory to therapy, JM underwent a splenectomy with good resolution. He was gradually weaned off prednisolone and followed up in the haematology clinic in 1999. The patient has been asymptomatic until this recent presentation to his GP, who referred him to the haematology unit at the Western General Hospital.
