ABSTRACT
A 30 year-old women who had had moderately advanced pulmonary tuberculosis and taken antituberculosis regimens including rifampicin was admitted with the symptoms of petechiae on the trunk and extremities and gum bleeding. The thrombocytopenic purpura appeared 20 days after the treatment with rifampicin, and which was rapidly improved with discontinuation of the drug. The diagnosis was confirmed by relapse of thrombocytopenia after retreatment with rifampicin. The paper presents a patient with thrombocytopenia induced by rifampicin and a brief review of pertinent literature.
