The finding of thrombocytopenia with normal or increased megakaryocytes on bone marrow aspirate supports the diagnosis of ITP.

Most cases of chronic ITP are immune in origin; consequently, steroid therapy is the initial treatment of choice ...

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in a cat

An 11-year-old, castrated, male domestic shorthair cat was presented for hematuria and pollakiuria. The cat had a marked thrombocytopenia, and a bone-marrow core biopsy demonstrated megakaryocytic hyperplasia with many megakaryocyte-associated neutrophils (i.e., emperipolesis). On peripheral blood, collected at initial presentation, what appeared to be
