ABSTRACT
Childhood idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is a rare condition seen in children. A case of a 10 year old female child is reported. Bleeding from the gingiva and petechiae on the tongue were observed. The blood picture was normocytic normochromic with neutrophilia and thrombocytopenia. Bone marrow study was suggestive of marrow changes in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Dental extractions were postponed. Recognition of the disease by the dental profession is stressed.
