Abstract
ITP (Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura) is an autoimmune disorder caused by a decrease in the number of platelets in the blood. Platelets are cells present in the blood that help in coagulation (helps stop bleeding). Low platelets can lead to bleeding gums, easy bruising and internal bleeding. Idiopathic means the cause is unknown. Thrombocytopenia means a decrease in the number of platelets in the blood. Purpura means a purple discoloration of the skin, as caused by bruising. A 6-year-old male patient complained of epistaxis, bruising, low platelet count, bleeding gums and occasional blood in stools. The clinical findings and symptoms of the patient are considered to be due to ITP. In Ayurvedic diagnosis, it is associated with TiryagataRaktapitta. Along with this, the patient was also given Platoplan Syrup, SwarnVasantMalti Rasa, Kumar KalyanRas, Cap Ashwagandha, Immune Booster etc. After 1 month of taking the medicine, the patients got some relief from the medicine. After completion of the medication, the patient gets relief from the symptoms and most commonly the platelet count decreases.
