The patient, a sixty-five-year-old retired inter-college principal, was rushed to a hospital where low platelet count was diagnosed. The senior citizen was taken to another hospital where the doctors confirmed that she was suffering from immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).
The patient was given intravenous immunoglobin (IVIG) therapy, along with Dapsone and other medicines. Her condition improved and she was discharged after few days.
