The authors present the case of a 21-year old woman patient who was admitted to hospital because of typical symptoms of chronic idiopathic thrombopenic purpura. Prednisolone therapy alone and subsequently combined with Immuran as well as later applied large dose of Methylprednisolone failed to be effective.
